Wanted LP 80 (1 or 2); SoCal area

[divad]

The LP 85 on the other hand has a buoyancy of -3.8 and +2.3.

That's without the valve. Several charts list them as neutral when empty (with valve).

Well, yes, but everything in the chart is listed without the valve. So, still a 5 lb. difference.

For single tank recreational diving, HP100+EAN32 is a super sweet combo.

I agree!

The cost difference isn't that bad considering the lifetime of the tank, and I feel I can handle the HP 100 comfortably... I think that might be my choice...

How much weight do you need to sink yourself without a tank?

I have no idea. I have never tried to sink myself without a tank.
