Mike get a drysuit and quit whining. If you have to dive wet you need to use the correct gear, i.e. buoyant doubles with a weight belt. Your weight belt is your secondary buoyancy. If you are paranoid you can also consider a lift bag or even a scooter as a backup method of getting you to the surface. If you are diving steels wet and figure on OMS stuperwings to pull your cookies out of the fire then tell that to, at my last count, 3 people who have died in this fashion in the last year.
