Gosh.  Did not know that one.  Hmm... the line's are starting to connect
the dots.

Could you give me source on the 100 lbs. requirement, especially any
rationale.

Was Jane diving with heavily positive (i.e. HP steel) stages?  Do you
know her actual buoyancy, broken down by component (BTW, being heavy on
the bottom post mortem at great depth is not necessarily a good
indication, due to water in the lungs if this was a wet drowning.)

Are you saying that she did not twitch out at the 20' stop, which I have
been assuming all this time, but instead that the overpressure relief
valve on the wings failed, possibly as the wings inflated a little bit
more going from 30' to 20'?
