Yes Sarah .... I did back in the early 1980's. I had a broken leg and had a fiberglass cast put on my leg.  I was using Hooka and was use to spending all day in the water collecting marinelife before I broke my leg in a stupid stunt in front of Sloppy Joe's in Key West during Fantasy Fest.  The first time I jumped in the water with my cast on, I sank to the bottom and could not kick to get back to the boat.  I had to pull myself hand-over-hand with my hooka hose.  I decided this was a dumber idea than the stunt that caused me to break my leg in the first place.  From then until the cast came off, I only collected what I could catch bending over!!  Billy
