Just didn't work. First of all, my leaden legs that are so heavy are really large cork floats and didn't need any floatation at all. Secondly, even without additional flotation, my floaty legs flipped me over very easily and I found my self on my back with my snorkle in the water. I really don't like breathing water. The life vest helped but my legs continued to be a problem. Of course you can't dive with a vest on. What really did work well was using an old wheel chair to access the boat launch ramp. In and out worked well. So next time we'll try leg weights, but not too much, I don't want to drag on the reef and some type of waist/chest flotation device. Thanks to my friends and family for the help or I would have drowned. Jim
