Personally, I dive a KISS, and I am weighted such that with my gear still attached (torches and stages) with the counterlungs full I am neutral. So that's one thing to forget about.

Just got back from a 2 week diving trip and saw this post. A very very valid topic, and rescue beig my fav topic in general and fav course to teach (on OC, that is)
I have spent a little bit of time thinking about this and the thing that scares the *&@# out of me is a flooded loop and the resulting negative buoyancy.
It can't be easy to deal with.
Even with or without a BOV the loop can still flood, maybe even during the rescue if not switched to bailout position ....
Just a thought.
