Pretty much. Dived aluminums in MX during full cave class in August. Hated the floaty butts you had to adjust. Steels stay where they’re supposed to, like God intended.

Thanks for all the great tips and advice everyone.
This guy makes side mount diving look so sexy… doesn’t seem like he's wearing lead or has air in his BC if he has one at all… look like just a harness.
God also made lead and the people who figured out you can strategically trim those out with a little nylon and lead. My best friend is a former ballet dancer who took perfecting SM with AL80s to heart.Pretty much. Dived aluminums in MX during full cave class in August. Hated the floaty butts you had to adjust.

MX cave instructor refused to do that. Had to move them. I was so glad to get back to steels after class.
That's why:
1) I wear my tanks exactly where they should be worn.
2) I don't look at tiny holes in rocks and ask myself, "Can I fit through there?"
