If you're at the surface ditch your tank(s)!? If it's really life threatening.

Are trim pockets dangerous?

Assuming Wing Failure (inability to add/retain gas in the bladder)
Getting up:
1) Balanced Rig - swim up
2) Drysuit (redundant buoyancy)
Staying up (at the surface):
1) Drysuit
2) Ditch rig
3) DSMB as life-preserver (simple mod reqd)
Assuming Out-of-Air (emergency ascent/no gas)
Getting up:
1) Oral inflation, whilst air-sharing/redundant gas
Staying up (at the surface):
1) Oral inflation
Assuming Wing Failure and Out-of-Air
Unlikely scenario (multiple, simultaneous, critical failures). Many would argue no need to plan for this.
