You could just have them inflate your BC and throw your kit in the water, then you can jump in and put it on there. Then you would never feel the weight of it. Since that is not safe for most, then next best is the back roll right behind where your tank was sitting--one step up *and the crew can lift the kit for you) and then you just fall in.
That implies you dive off a little tiny panga boat. How quaint. I like small group, fastest boat, room and shade.

Well, if your BC is not weight integrated and you are wearing a weight belt, just getting to your floating BC before you sink like a rock might be a problem. You might only have one chance to grab it on your way down.
I was content to chuckle heartily and let this simply pass. Good one.
