 Tom, then if you can swim them ( yuor steels) up , you do not need the
double bc. We WERE talking about deeper dives, as in up to 450 feet ,
and that we do with double 80 alumuminum with weight belt, only it is
under the scooter strap, so as to not fall off it it came unbuckled, but
would require a sideways pull to remove, as in wing failure at the
beginnming of the dive with full tanks, but even then we could swinm up.

 If we want to do somethning cold or longer or deeper , drysuit with
104's would be the correct choice. Convoluteing the rig wtih doubole
bc's is a dangerous choise and implies not doing it right to start with,
as Bill Mee suggested. We get lots of chances to try everything with the
wyear round diving we have, and we have tried every stupid think you can
think of, and already know it is a cluster.
