Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Prone position tips?

[MerlinSub@t-online.de]

Hi Alex, I spend many time underwater in prone position. 

The best will be the plain steel body of the sub, some cables and a 10 liter scuba tank under you. 
Two hours later you will feel every bone and parts of your skin will be nice blue and  
all you want ist to get out - but you will still remember the ride 20 years later.. 

Some about Prone position:
