Hi All;
I've got a half-dozen or so scientific journal references to packing on my desk at the office right now and they are all pretty negative about the breath-hold extension benefits. Sorting through the various protocols and results it would seem that packing is more effective for depth work than for surface statics. Just my speculative reading of the work, however. More research needed to clarify.
As far as the risks, they all agree that the risk of damage/injury is high.
A similar 'packing' thread drifted through DeeperBLue a few months back and the most sensible thoughts came from Eric Fattah -- as they often do! I believe the end concensus was that moderation was the key to both injury avoidance and progress towards a fuller pack?
Dive safe. Have fun.
Pete
