Counter weights for camera+flash

[JohnN]

I have a Canon G10 with the OEM housing and a S&S YS-110 strobe. Where is the best place to put weights to get this setup more neutrally/negatively buoyant? I have this on a tether clipped to my right chest "D" ring (something like this but with bolt-snaps on both ends)

Right now this wants to float to the surface, giving me one more thing to manage. My thoughts that slightly negative would be ideal, am I on the right path?

Canon makes a weight kit for their housings, which uses the tripod mount.

Thanks, I should have added the S&S YS-110 is on an arm attached to a tray that I have attached to that tripod mount fitting. . .

Your tray doesn't have a tripod screw hole in it? Bummer, the tray I used to use with Canon housings had one that I used for the weight kit. Possibly you could tap one if the tray is big enough or get a longer screw to hold the weighs and the tray to the housing.

I used to put quarters inside a small ziplock bag inside my ikelite compact case. That was a pretty roomy case though.
