Correction: When I wrote "no way to avoid the loss of buoyancy as you drain
your tanks" this was due to a severe case of post-dive fatigue. Let's agree
on "no way to avoid the increase in buoyancy as you drain your tanks." 

Also, keep in mind that I don't suggest it's a good idea to drain ones tanks
completely (just bracing for another possible flame here) -- the points are
just that a) whatever amount of gas you spend in open-circuit means a loss
of weight; for "technical" exposures the loss of weight is considerable, and
b) it should still be possible to stay down with near-empty tanks, lest
there's no point to carrying that emergency reserve in the first place.

regards,

Hans
