Yeah, with _just_ the 95s it will do the job, but you need to use most of the wing. Add a stage or an O2 bottle and it needs to be at max inflation to keep you near neutral. This is _not_ a comfortable way to dive. I even have problems keeping my head out of the water at the surface before beginning a dive. I'd get the Halcyon 65# wing. (I have.) Use the AUL as back up, or with your DS. Nanci >Probably a redundant, ridiculous, and boring question after all this >discussion, but at what depth is a traditional 7mm wetsuit fully >compressed?
