Hi
@Corrupted_Diver
Seems like your current weighting is perfect for your choice of exposure protection and cylinder. What do you see as the advantages of eliminating your low pressure inflator hose?
Do you intend on diving in any different conditions, where your exposure protection, cylinder, and weight will be different? Diving in Florida year round, I use a 3, 5, and 7 mm full suit with or without a hooded vest, weight between 4 and 20 pounds, usually an AL80, but sometimes a steel 100 cylinder. I put some air in my BC for almost every dive, particularly at the start when I have all the weight of my gas and wetsuit is generally most compressed at depth. Even with an AL80, you'll have a little over 5 lbs of extra weight from gas at the beginning of a dive compared to the end at your safety stop.
