Re: Freedivers safety vest in development

Of course you have a much better chance of waking up on the surface than underwater, but the problem is that people start to rely on the vest, thinking that they can 'push' for that fish a little longer because it won't matter if they black out.... the vest will take care of them.... then they reach the surface with mask on, and never wake up. Same thing with the spare air idea.... when you know there is something to bail you out, you go further, deeper, longer, until you die.

I don’t claim to know what it will be like to be in your position, but I know that when you leave here, grades will be handed out differently. Your ability to gauge your success will largely depend on how you perceive it. You can shape it, set it up, feel it, and define it. Allow competition to turn inward. Do not depend on awards, money, or other validations." -Jonny Moseley
