I recently dived with AL80s sidemount—usually I use steels. Was pretty straightforward switching the cylinder snap lower on the waist band as they got floaty, but my legs started to come up a bit towards the end. Someone I was with suggested adding a 1kg weight on each cylinder. I’ve read a lot of animosity on here towards this, but I’m not clear why the hate. You’ll be wearing the weight anyway. May actually help with trim a bit, no?
I guess I could see if you were doing really squeezey stuff and they could maybe get snagged, but for anything else, what’s the downside?
