Yeah, The Steinke Hoods are long gone. No more "Ho, Ho, Hos" all the way to the surface?

I remember them telling us that the divers would punch us in the stomach to make us breath, if needed, and if we didn't hohoho...:)

Ohh this brings back memories! My class was one of the last to go through the old tower, before it was condemned. My first boat being a FBM in Scotland, I always thought that trying this with a Steinke Hood in the north Lant, at those water temps we'd be toast, if we were able to do it.
The new tower in Groton is coming along nicely, we left Groton for VA two weeks ago, and they plan to have it on line by this summer. Those new suits look like they'd be fun to try :)
