Pete's illustrations were used in the earliest MPV training guides. I recall a couple of chapters on how to struggle wildly with the breath-holding only entering the plan after submersion while awaiting (hopeful) rescue. Might be some confusion about that. It has been a long time.
It's a dirty job but I got to do it for over 20 years. Thank you.
