It's about far more than just drag. It's an
entanglement thing (with kelp, with the camera,
and with the double hoses on the rebreather).
It's a "don't take what you don't need unless
it's going to save your butt if the stuff hits
the fan thing".
And some of us ARE streamlined, both our gear and
our bellies.
If you inflate your BC a little, your mouth is
out of the water.
No snorkel WFM (works for me).
What you do is your business. Me, I like Filet.
