During my training I used a Mares Rover 7mm suit and during my local dive here I used the same brand and size, but this suit here seemed newer than during my training. During my training I used a 10 liter steel tank, during my dive here a 12 liter aluminium tank. I added boots as well. So these things meight effect my added weight as well I guess.
For sure. The steel to aluminum probably accounted for about 1/2 the weight difference. Fresh to salt likely took care of most of the rest, and maybe a small amount in your breathing.
