OK to the OP's problem as has been said, It is you r tank. Heisire's Are insanly negative for their size.
as for ditchable weight. I dive double PST 104's with my SS plate, I need no additional weight. Even though I can and have swam my rig off the bottom with an empty wing, I carry cheap insurance with me... my lift bag. If you know how to use it it will get you up in a controlled fasion. Personally, the idea of an uncontrolled ascent from 60+ft scares me to death, let alone a 120+ft with deco obligations. And yes for real dives I wear my drysuit, but for shallow stuff in warm water I like my wetsuit.
