If you mean take your backplate off and put it back on then the answer is no. But for all skills you will be expected to execute them cleanly in proper position while maintaining an awareness of your team and environment.

Ahh no...not the mask.
I mean taking your rig off horizontally, that is the package of doubles, backplate, bc, hoses, can light, and stage bottle, then redonning, all whilst maintaining - as best you can - neutral buoyancy.
Edit: Had not seen ed's reply.

No.
Unless you count a mask removal as doffing and donning.
Once your gear is on, it stays on until you've finished the dive.

This question comes up with a fair degree of regularity on this board. Maybe it'd be a good subject for a sticky or a FAQ? Just a thought.
Quick question from a numptie - whats "fundies"?
I've tried google and I have a choice of health food store, a selection of objects for adult fun or passionate christians.
Presume you guys mean something else...?
