Good point.  I'm always "jealous" of those guys that have the light genesis
80's for the smaller dives, although I WOULD NEVER BUY THEM ..er.. again.
(let me just emphasize that for the list) 

The issue here is that the 104's are _the_ correct tanks for a drysuit.
You'd have to wear weight with anything else, although maybe a set of 72's
could be v and p weighted enough to sink, I dunno.  Anyone using 72's sans
weight with a drysuit?
