As you can see in the new CMAS Web Site, there is a new letter from the President Achille Ferrero, where it’s cleared the question about the full Swimsuits. In fact it is remarked that the use of the swimsuits that help the  Floatability are forbidden also in this season (2009-2010).
President’s letter of the 16th January 2009 sets the guideline to be followed: http://www.cmaswebsite.com/114-28412.php

In a terse statement addressed to all member federations, dated 14 October, reached by e-mail October 15, signed “CMAS HD” CMAS gives the news of the resignation submitted by Secretary General Dr. Pierre Dernier on 10 October. No words about the reason of the resignation. Nothing more is given to know from the website. The opening page is “obscured” in the sense that it appears white and no news is reported in relation to future activities. The resignation of Secretary General – as if it were of no particular importance – did not mention. What to say?
