Re: New safety protocol? loosen weight belt AND remove mask?

Hi Sean,
for me the answer to this is a clear "no":

- remove weight: would add additional taskload and physical load. Apart from that, I think it is quite uncomfortable to hold the weights asymmetric (not having them around the body center). I do not think this is a good idea.

- drop weight: Wouldn't want to ditch my weight in a deep quarry if I don't have to. IMHO that's the ebst way to lose it. Apart from that, it's "Constant" weight after all?

- remove mask: Wouldn't want to do this in 4°C water. Apart from that, as much as I appreciate Sebastian Murats spirit of innovation I'd like to see the concept scientifically proven before I'd incorporate it in a surface protocol.

Just my 2cents worth, though.

All the best,

Veronika
