I’m sure this has been asked before, i tried to search but did not really find anything.
I‘m beginning to incorporate diving with a twin set. So far it has been with steel tanks and a drysuit. This time of year on a boat that just seems too hot and no fun. I have a set of AL 80’s I’ll use diving wet. I’m trying to wrap my head around weighting. I know what I need with a single AL80. If I’m going to keep the same weight for two dives same tanks no fill in between I’ll be a little heavy dive 1 to be properly weighted at the end of dive 2. One one hand full the 2nd tank is like 2lbs negative but empty another 5lbs positive. Do the bands, manifold and additional 1st stage off set that? Do I dive the same weight as a single 80? Drop a few lbs?
Thanks
