OK,The choice of plate material is a function of required ballast. And you have provided zero information in your question about how much total ballast a specific diver might require.
84 degree water, skinny ( very neg. buoyant diver ) w/non- buoyant suit = zero weight needed
What would be the proper BP/W?
Would a small tropical wing work up North?In general:
Wings get bigger as you move further from the equator, the water gets colder and suit buoyancy typically increases
