I understand the principle of being neutral with empty tanks; but in practice, I usually have ~100 bar in the twins and 50+ bar in each stage by the end of my 6m stop
And what I need to be able to do is trim out at 75m plus with up to 180 bar in the twins and over 100 bar in each stage, while wearing a 3mm shorty; I'm still not seeing how 30# is going to let me do that, let alone pull up my buddy from that depth if it should be required
In a 3mm shorty I can get down and hold stops comfortably without any extra weight under the above conditions; with my 5mm hooded shorty (which I used on the 85m dive) I need a single weight, which I cable-tie to my tank bands/manifold
If you can show me the math that says 30# will work, please do
