In 1973 a crack underwater scuba swimming team was sent to ULU for a crime they didn't commit. They subequently escaped from the tyranny of cylinders by holding their breath a lot and exist in the London Underground as divers of fortune.
If you're in the pool, and nobody else can help, and if you can hold your breath a lot...
Maybe you can hire....
The Underwater Scuba Swimming Team!
(The USST is formally part of the AAAA (American Apnea Association of America)
