So how did they manage to look like they had perfect neutral bouyancy at 20 - 30m wearing wetsuits but no bouyancy device?
There have been threads in the past with dire warninings about BCDS failing and how it would be impossible to get to the surface if this happened. Have I mised something here??

They also dive The Britannic (120M) without BCDs/Stabs using triples and carrying loads of u/w film kit etc.
The likes of Albert Falco etc were certainly very hardcore, and I guess there were no other kit options in those days,fascinating stuff though.
