Aren't you a bit more negative than average?  What happens when it's just 
you..... no gear.....in a swimming pool?  Can you walk on the bottom in the

Most folks are a bit more positive in the beginning.  Their weight 
requirements may reduce with experience (as in how to get *all* the air out 
of their bc).
