On deeper dive you will have other problems with a modified dolphins.

The shell and the original wing are not made to support the bailout bottles you will need. So you will need to fit a bigger wing and a support for the bailout bottles.

From my experience, for a depth of 60-70 m you can use the dolphin with the kiss without the need to change the wing and the shell. And with a IP of 9 you can quite safely dive to this depth.

Deeper it would be better to use a more solid unit or modify the shell and change the wings.
