Well the solution is simple You need to get rid of the weight.
Either use an AL or kydex plate and figure out why your trim is not ok - there should be no big deal switching from one to the other or get a more buoyant tank. Faber Lp tanks tend to be more positive than worthingtons.

I am diving a 5mm full suit with a 25lb Hollis wing on my SS bp using a HP100 steel tank. Testing my rig for balance, I find that I cannot swim it up from 20' w no air in the wing so obviously I am overweighted.
I would like to keep using my 100cf steel tank for the extra dive time but am looking for a solution to being overweighted.
My only idea is to switch back to my AL plate to shed 4.2lbs, but that setup is very difficult to obtain good trim for some reason.
Any other ideas? Anyone else use a similar set-up for FW diving?
thanks
