[cool][#0000ff]Attaching the PFD to your seat DOES fulfill the requirements of state regulations. On the few occasions I have been checked for having one, I was never asked how easy it is to get to or how it is attached to my tube. As long as they see one in or on your tube your are okay.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You have foam seats. With the addition of a PFD around the back seat your tube is even more of a "life saver" in the event you lose air or slip in the water. And...as has been pointed out...when you are wearing fins you have a lot more propulsion than if you were to fall in the water without fins. Just to satisfy my own curiousity I once wore waders into the water while wearing fins, and let the waders fill up. Then I laid over on my back and kicked with the fins. I could move quite fast, even with the waders full of water...and my head and shoulders were well above the water.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]If all else fails, and if you get in trouble, you can always have Sparky go get Lassie.[/#0000ff]
