Hah - if you want to see scary stuff, go to
Cozumel. I'm sitting on the boat with Aldora
(which uses mostly HP100s and HP120s) and listen
to men and women asking for 15-20lbs of lead to
mate to their 2mm shorties. Because I have my
-6lb BP, I'm dead even or even slightly negative.
(with the AL tanks, I used a 2lb ankle weight).
No surprise to note that I was surfacing with 1500-
2000 lbs of air on most dives. I thought about
saying something, but I was trying to be on vacation.
Next time I'll drag 5 friends.
