To those saying you don't need a BC system have you tried getting back to the surface from 110ft while wearing a wetsuit and 32lbs of lead
No, but I've also never worn 32lbs of lead outside of my BOW class.
My post (which I believe was the first that said that BC's aren't a necessity) included a caveat about dives which involve a lot of weight (doubles, stage and deco bottles, etc.). For those, yah, you'll probably need a BC. For the dives which I imagine the OP (with fewer than 25 dives) will be doing, it's not a necessity.
