Not sure if this is the forum to post in, but here goes.
I need a bit of advice on how much weight to use.
I have been diving "cold" water with an AL80 and using 24lb on a weight belt or weight intergrated BCD.
I am buying a HP100 steel tank and wanted to know where to start.
Stats show the AL80 is -1.4 full and +3.5 when empty(500psi?).
The HP100 is -10 full and -2.5 empty.
so, I'm thinking about 8 lbs less to a 16lb weight belt.
Also would like to use those tank cam bands weight pouches from XS suba to trim out better, maybe 2-6lbs. there and further decrease the weight on the belt.
Any advice would be appreciated...........thanks
