Sorry, I know this thread is a bit old now but I've just started to think a bit more about it.

All this talk of steel cylinders weighing you down in an "emergency" situation. Doesn't this assume that both your drysuit and BCD have both gone completely FUBAR and that you have not a jot of lead to drop to increase your buoyancy ?

After all, if you are rigourously correctly weighted, you shouldn't have to drop more than a couple of pounds of lead to make yourself more buoyant.

Regards
Steve

Not so much a reply as a question, Heads where did you get the info about chipped tanks not been tested?
How will this affect all the BOAC, hospital O2, water fairies (firemen to you) and other presurised cylider users?
Do I need to retire and set up a paint shop now, or is it a rumour?

Got it from the guy who tests all our club tanks. No idea how it will affect BOC etc.
