It's from the Halcyon website. I have some pictures of myself underwater, but I don't look as good as that guy

I was wondering if there is a picture or diagram of the perfectly streamlined diver. Thanks,
Bill
ROFL...good one, AQ...here is a pic of me that I daresay is pretty streamlined, albeit grainyAquaTec once bubbled...
sure there is, just look at my profile
The only quantitative analysis I know of is when the WKPP was trying out different configurations. Theyd configure a certain way, scooter for X minutes and see how far theyd go. Theyd try a different configuration and scooter again for X minutes and see how far theyd go. In Mexico they did some qualitative analysis by scootering in the halocline and observers above and below would analyze the slipstream and try and figure out how to reconfigure to get more gear in the slipstream.Butch103 once bubbled...
Has any diver actually done a comparison ( and I mean qualitatively) to see what the savings on air they had.
Not that I know of, but to paraphrase an old car racing saying:Butch103 once bubbled...
Thanks for the info .........Is there any testing to say that the removal of the snorkel improves reduces your drag enough to make any significant improvement in the SAC rates or other measureable yard stick ??.....
