The back mounted floats on the various "high capacity" B/Cs will throw you forward if you inflate them all the way. BUT if you keep just enough air in them to raise your chin above the water, then you should stay verticle just fine. At any rate, thats the way my Zeagle Tek B/C works for me, with its 65 lb lift capacity. Excellent for light salvage work off the Ocean floor and for active rescues of OW1 students too!
Definitely bring your snorkel with you. Its nice to inflate them all the way too. Excellent buoyancy, except that then they definitely throw you forward when youre on the surface, and you then need to put your face in the water and breathe through your snorkel.
