	Not so.... In "Diving an Subaquatic Medicine" Edmonds & co
quote a case report of an Australian Navy diver who jumped into 20 ft of 
water with manifolded 72s. The blowout plug on the reserve side (they 
leave the tanks isolated, and decant when the one they are breathing from 
runs dry) had burst sometime earlier, and during the dive, the tank 
filled with seawater.
	Interestingly, even without a BC, he managed to "bob" his way 
back to shore.
