Can you use a lift bag on the weight? My wing, at 30 pounds, is a bit borderline for a 25 pound weight.

It's way to big to get into a lift bag. You have to pick it up and take it yourself across the grid.
Bridget doesn't use the big weight anymore. Now it's some metal bar thing that weighs a lot less. The big round weight (some part of a car) is still down there, however.

the larger object is described somewhere as being a brake drum.

That's exactly what it was. It was very awkward to swim with while carrying it over the grid. I'm glad she's got something lighter to carry now.

......the heavy object in question is/was a brake rotor....not a brake drum.....and I suspect that Bridget changed to the 'lighter' weight object for safety reasons......... it was pretty scary seeing what happened when some divers in the class really overinflated their BC's to lift the object and then they would either lose a grip on it unexpectedly....or would reach the other side of the grid successfully and put the weight down and forget to vent their BC's....in either case, I've seen divers shoot to the surface...a very scary sight! ......I wondered how long it would take for her to change that part of the course...glad to hear that's finally been done.
