 Sorry , Rich, I am so used to seeing all of these atrocities extolled together 
as a single style by the same people, that I did not, as you suggest, read the 
post properly. My mistake. I think the same thing you do about the smaller 
wings, but see the double bladder risk outweighing any usefullness. Your 
rebreather is not likely even negative in the first place, so if you have a 
problem, drop you weightbelt. I do not know what that problem would be, but 
whatever. When I want to come up I swim up . Rich, some of these guys would
have 
had a tough time diving twenty years ago.

  There is an article in Professional Diver Magazine about all of the tech 
divers who can't actually dive, and would never make the cut in a military 
environment. It asks the questions, "How many students has IANTD failed?". - G
