None. But that was 'cause I had been diving a SS BP/W w/ doubled HP120's for awhile before I took DIRf. With the Pro14 can light I was using at the time, I was almost overweighted even without any weight on the belt

and here I was thinking of Rocky and Bullwinklepennypue:More like Ahnold, huh? :07:
Bear, that would definitely have me over weighted unless I was wearing some real fluffy undies!!! How much does that can light weigh? (I'm shopping for one now. )Snowbear:None.

Oh, oh, can I be Natasha then? She's evil!!JeffG:and here I was thinking of Rocky and Bullwinkle
BabyDuck:yes. i went from 14-16 in the bc to ss plate at 6 + 5 = 11. but i think the difference is not having to sink the padding.
yep, jeff, i like the eyeball/tongue thing...penny, it would look good on you.
I dunno the dry weight, but it was about 6# negative in salt water :11: When the batteries died, I whacked the can in half and turned it into a Pro7... MUCH easier to deal with, but I now have the can, lid and 4 batteries for sale (I robbed the 18W lighthead to make an even smaller lite, but I think the ballast is bad now :frown:pennypue:Bear, that would definitely have me over weighted unless I was wearing some real fluffy undies!!!

Fart.... uh.... I mean breathe itpennypue:Just what do you do with all that gas?!!!
Yes. Because I was using a Black Diamond, which feature some positively buoyant comfort foam padding, I was able to drop more weight than just the 6# of plate. I was otherwise pretty well weighted anyhow, so total weight didn't change that much. Now my weighting varies with the season. As the water temp dips below ~40F I need to add insulation, so have to compensate for the addition positive buoyancy of that.pennypue:And a question for everyone: Did moving to the BP/W cause anyone else to drop weight? And I'm really looking for total weight including the BP.
