MORE WEIGHT = EXCESS BAGGAGE = LOUSY DIVES
We all know that carrying excess body weight can reduce your fun in diving. Extra weight often means reduced levels of fitness, more exertion in the water and air running out sooner than is necessary. It also leads to raised blood pressure and cholesterol, both of which add unnecessary health risks when diving, as well as making you more prone to DCS (“decompression sickness”).

p.s : Lose that buldge and you will look good in a dive suit too !!!
