For the metaldetectors I just tell security that I´m trying to adapt to uw-life, step by step, and that its no different than those body-mod people who implant horns on their foreheads...actually egyptian diveresorts propably top the list of metaldetectors/capita . there are a few in each hotel (nevermind that the armed guards dont seem to care when theyre set off....)

). I do kind of recall the hugging, the extra unnecessary padding and had to keep pinching myself that i had made the right choice with the BP/W. Maybe its worthwhile doing a quick rental of a jacket just to recall that feeling periodically? Well i can only guess my GF will buy such a BC in the coming months, me i might buy another SSBP and rig it up for size for my DS for salt water singles diving. I am finding the harness a bear to get out of after diving in my DS even though its quite loose - but i wont add a buckle!!!
