About the only thing I don't do, position wise, on my Rebreather is go through vertical holes heads down.

While I believe good trim is essential to being efficient, I don't think shooting for a particular number of, or lack of, degrees is even in my mind while diving. Most divers think they are horizontal when they really aren't; proven by watching video or viewing pictures of the dive. As for it being important on a Rebreather, I don't see much of an issue. As long as you are aware of the problems associated with water exiting the CL's and into the sorb, I don't see the need to be anal about it.

Not repositioning to accomplish tasks properly seems stupid.
