Like that if I dive a wetsuit with say 104's and two stage bottles and other gear and use a Super Wing 70# lift do I still have to deal with the ditcable weight issue. Will my redundant bladder fail on the same dive, what are the odds? If the odds are negligible and I dive with no ditchable weight am I wrong to do that if so why? If both bladders did fail on the same dive early on and there is no bottom and my buddy did not see what was happening I would be SOL, granted. Is it reasonable to anticipate such a redundant failure, if so to what extreme do you go with this redundancy issue. From what I got from your previous answer was that you would always want to be able to swim up under any circumstances. All I can really conclude is that a wetsuit is a buoyancy device that cant fail, but I already new that.
