Funny that all those educational lifting over your head videos use a baby cylinder. Use a steel tank, steel plate, and maybe some additional weights for cold water drysuit diving thrown in.

Every zipper has issues with sand ..... Comes with the territory. Question is not if but rather when they will get stuck.

Sitech cuff system: never had an issue on this or my precious suit. Expedition pockets: totally agree with the previous poster. Do NOT get zippered pockets if you beachdive in Cali. The Velcro patch on the expedition pockets is generous and works even if in sand. No worries.
