I heard a story about a guy up here who once tried to double up the Beauchat 140's. He had to have two people help him to the water. He was going to test them in Devil's Ear. He got underwater and fell flat on his face. He inflated his wings all the way and still couldn't get off the ground. FYI, I have 2 sets of 104's and won't trade them for the world. They are the perfect cave diving tank.
