What I'm wearing is my preferred setup in the wild and lawless Pacific. It's interesting that whenever I first set up my gear like this some turkey, usually professing to be a DM or better and mostly of the P*#I persuasion, tells me that I can't dive like that. Mind, that's never been anyone from the boat crew, they know better.
My response depends on (a) my mood at that time and more particularly (b) the method of delivery of their "verdict" but it's often along the lines of "Sonny, I've been diving this way since before your parents were born."
