jbichsel:I've not read all the posts in this thread, but so far I think everyone has missed the value of 80 lbs of lift.
That much lift is so that when you want to surface, you can max inflate your BC/BPW at depth and you will totally clear the water upon surfacing. If your trajectory is correct, you will land feet first on the boat deck or shoot directly into the waiting med-evac helicopter.
Yes, but if you miscalculate it and have 85lbs of lift, you'll miss the helicopter door and propel yourself into the blades.
