Generis whatever are nothing compared with 104's.  The only thing I found
which was heavier than that are the Beuchat 'shot' tanks.  Therefore, I
think that your experience with 100's is not relevant to the discussion as
you would certainly be overweight with 104's.

In George's video it is shown how he puts weight on 121's to make them
similar to 104's.  (talking about this George, I would like to know more
about those weights, I need them on my doubles).

BTW, I take 10-12 pounds (fresh water, 14-16 in salt water) with full
wetsuit and an aluminum 80 (I guess I don't have the fat ass that someone on
the list once said).

I'm having a nice day so far.  I hope this is the same for you!
