 in open water (that includes using steel doubles).  You can crawl out of a
 cave if you have to (hence the v-weight system, and/or steel tanks).  I
 recommend using a weight belt in open water regardless of the number of
 "inflation" systems you're wearing.

Bill,
   I allways have two ways to gain bouyancy: drysuit, BC, liftbag.  I don't 
plan on ditching gear, but that MIGHT be a last resort; I would have to lose 
the anchor line (most of the open water dives have one) and everybody else 
I'm diving with.

   Gotta go, Got one of those OPEN Water dives to get to right now,
             Randy
