Yep, so goes the story, and it is bloody funny. 
I must have drowned 1000 fold in th past.
12l steel french steel tank, no bcd whatsoever, 6mm wetsuit, 3,5 kg
lead, diving to depth of 36 m.
Later 2x7 steel, same suit, 2 kg weight, diving to 55m( best rec rig
ever).
15 l steel, 5mm wetsuit, 3kg,
Aluminium 80, 3mm wetsuit, 1kg. 
So, what the heck, were is the problem ? May be I need another 2000
dives to find out.

I did _not_ refer to stage tanks, though.
