SS vs Alum BP

[reubencahn]

I'm using a single pst hp100. I'm pretty sure, I had the entire bp too high. So, even with the camband at the break of the tank, it sat very high. I've made an adjustment and will get back in the water later this week. Hopefully, the problem will be solved because I really don't want to give up my hp100s.

... will find this problem insoluble.

I love the HP100s as singles. I'm a bit less hyped on them as doubles, and may break mine back down and double my 120s instead. The 100s are quite short and make proper trim somewhat of a problem, tending to make me head-heavy.

Hay MEM,

One more for the AL BP and warm water. I've got AL 90's set up as doubles and with a 5 mil semi dry and the AL back plate I'm adding air to slow my desent I'm so negitive. I can't imagine how over weighted I'd be with a SS BP. Using a single HP 100 for a single tank set up with the same AL BP and SS STA I'm slightly under weighted and add a set of ankle weights to the base of the tank. With this added weight I'm perfectly weighted.

I dive twin 100cft Fabers with my Zeagle SS BP
Often dive wet and use 4 pounds on my weight belt, just enough to keep me neutral at my last deco stop without stage bottles, just in case I need to pass them off or ditch them for any reason.

Also use a Zeagle 55# dual blader when diving wet, nice to have that extra Bladder and inflator, alot easier than trying to swim the rig up from 50m in the cevent of a failure of the inflator or bladder

Thanks PadiPro and Sydney,

The simplest rig will be 3mm, warm water, single or double PST 80's, single bladder, and AL BP.

I'll give that a go and see how it works out for weight.

The other end will be drysuit, cold water, double 104's, dual bladder, and AL BP. This is still a ways off for me, so I'll have plenty of time to test it out.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
