"First of all, I'm weighted so that when I eliminate the squeeze at any depth, I'm also more or less buoyant."
Lets talk weighting. Do you start your dive a little heavy? I do, if I breath down 80 of my 100 tank that air weighes about 6.5 lbs so I start a little heavy then I'll be weighted okay for the stop. To offset that 6.5 lbs I need to add about three liters of air, roughly? According to Boyle's Law how much air do I need to add to stay bouyant at 33', 66', 99' 132'?
That's a lot of air to vent from a dry suit, right or wrong?
