   I am not sure what agency Ron is talking about here, but
this looks a little fishy. Folks, this type of divng is getting
pretty widespread - we need to tighten up a little and start
really looking closely at what we are saying and recommending.
There is some real bad information, and some really useless
equipment out there. Let's start calling a spade a spade. - G

George,

How's this for strokery?

The buoyancy of an 88 cuft aluminium cylinder is 14.5 kg (32 lb) 
negatively 
buoyant

The buoyancy of a Drager FGT rebreather is 39 kg (86 lb) negatively 
buoyant

A diver 110 kg (242 lb) negatively buoyant (1 x Drager FGT and 6 x 88 
cu ft ?) 
wearing a Fency BCD (15 kg / 33 lb buoyancy) would still wear a 9 kg 
(20 lb) 
weight belt.

Want to hear more?  These calculations have been made by an allegedly 

internationally  respected organisation and endorsed by at least one 
prominient 
hyperbaric authority.

Feel free to post this message on either the Cave or Tech Diver 
server.

Best wishes
Rob Cason
