Giant Stride in Doubles: Feel much different from single rig?

[amascuba]

Wish I could clone that ladder and take it with me everywhere!

Stem cell research is looking very promising!

Well, here's one of those doubles newbie questions I'm almost embarrassed to ask but,
I'm about to do my lst boat dive with my HP100s and was curious if I should expect a
different "feel" when I hit the water? Is the amount one submerges initially deeper than I'd be used to with my singles rig? (More weight/faster velocity?). Do ya bob back up in approx. the same amount of time? Should I be prepared for a bit deeper descent?
I'm diving a 70lb. wing so I figure it'll all be about the "same ol' same ol'?

Thanks. It's always a bit nerve wracking trying something new in the middle of Georgia
Strait!

Not much different. Bigger noise, drop a little deeper, other than that not much different hitting the water.

Moving around on the dock, now that's another kettle of fish!

... The best ladder I've climbed anywhere in doubles was the Diver's Choice boat up in Nanaimo....

Slightly off topic, but I've climbed the same ladder. Great outfit, Ken and his wife do a great job.
