I'm glad you're getting over your tantrum. This is more like the Kendall Raine I'm used to reading. Now lets discuss the maximum negative weight that needs to be delt with using 104's for OW. -20 for empty tanks and plate, -16 to -22 gas. You have +20 with your dry suit as long as it remains dry. So you are already relying on the wing to get neutral with a 16 lb air bubble with full tanks. What other equipment will add to the buoyancy. Reels, lights, regs, knive, fins, argon bottle, stage bottle, etc. How much do all your accessories add on to the total negative load? This is a serious question that I need to resolve in order to form my final opinion and decide if this makes any sense whatsoever.
