so just a bit of an update.
was able to get out last weekend for another set of dives.....i had switched to my Viking drysuit (which was getting seals replaced on my last dive).....and was able to shed 6 lbs
so 48lbs using my current setup with AL80s.......i feel more weight can be shed...and im sure the more comfortable i get more weight will come off.
on my first dives when i made my initial post, i didnt feel overweighted......but in the Viking i sunk like a stone.......i doubt there is that much of a buoyancy difference between the 2 suits, so maybe i had an air pocket trapped??
either way the DUI weight harness is amazing, it carried the weight very well and really didnt notice it/

Those xs scuba shot bags are absolutely worthless. Once you get more than about 2 lbs in, it bulges out and doesn't bolt in nicely at all.
