George,
   What I get off of the WKPP web site is very valuable info.  I certainly do 
not mean that the steel tanks with a wet suit are on the web site.  I'll make 
something clear to the list right now.
   I AM NOT PART OF THE WKPP.  But, I have learned a lot from them.  Their 
site @ wkpp.com is a no nonsense diving infomation site.  If you haven't been 
there yet, GO now.
     Hows that?


    p. s.   I'm always open minded and willing to try it, simple.
   I'll be diving this coming up weekend at another site in the ocean, less 
than 50 feet,  I'll try your idea and see how it feels;  double aluminum 
80's, aluminum 80 stage (air this time) and , What do you use for the 100% 
bottle?  aluminum or steel 40 or 50?  aluminum?, and a weight belt.  I'll 
post back what I think after the dive.

    BTW-  just so I do it right, tell me, how much of the 12-20 lbs should I 
put on my waist and how much on the v-weight?
I'm expecting to add 16 lbs.

             learn from experience,
             preferably other's

        Randy Labelle
