Hi, Terho,

This is in response to your pool experiment of switching gear, including 
dry suit.

Yes, I agree that if you have a BC failure AND you have a Dry suit flood 
then you're going to have difficulty.  HOWEVER, I wonder how realistic 
this problem is...

You'ld have to somehow cause the BC to inflate and then do a full flood 
of your dry suit.  If you've managed to do all of that, would a second 
air bladder on your BC escape destruction too?

I don't meant to sound sarcastic - I've enjoyed many of your posts (even 
those I had difficulty following the math ::grin::), but I can't help but 
feel that you're preparing for an accident that is A) extremely low 
probability and B) probably won't be solved by your solution.

It is hard to disagree with a pro-survival decision,
     It is even harder to engage in prolonged arguments
          with someone who consistently makes anti-survival decisions.
