Hi Tobin,
May need to add to my DSS collection again soon, thought I throw you the numbers and see what you think.
Looking at changing up from twin Faber HP100's (-10 full -2 empty each) to a twinset of Worthington HP X7-120's (-11 full -2 empty each).
These will be teamed up with a Long Kydex plate for fresh water, HOG regs, Highland bands and Thermo manifold, and an Alu 6cu Argon suit inflate bottle.
Buoyancy of the drysuit/thermals is 26#
Fairly sure the 49lb wing I have now will cope with this slight increase but what about when I add 2 stage/deco cylinders? 1 x Worthington AL80 and 1 x Worthington AL40.
I know those are considered disposable in case of emergency wing or suit failure but will that 49# wing be able to float me and all that at the surface at the start of the dive?
Thanks as always for your advice!
