I absolutely prefer this too. Unless, of course, I'm diving dry suit.

Only unlike the Navy one, which came with some Med records and DD-214, my PADI bag BWRAF's out a bunch of manuals, tables and slates-
My guess is if you've ditched out the back of a CH47 more then once or twice you'll be a great diver. I like the booties. If I were you I'd invest in a comfortable mil suit that keeps you warm and comfy. Being cold, least for me, take the pleasure out of diving. I got tried of being cold in the Pacific off the Oregon coast and invested in a dry suit. I actually got hot in that in 55 degree water.
