I'd like to hear tobin chime in on this.
Maybe Tobin is little bit tired of explaining same thing over and over again :D using search feature would be helpful in this case.
 
doing the math:
6lbs plate+harness
8lb full tank
2lb regs
16lb lead in weight pockets
32lbs negative rig at start of dive, too much for a 26lb wing.
Simple sulution is to move 1/2 the lead to a wright belt

@Oside Jimc: Where did the OP specify that he's using 16 lbs. of lead? Am I missing something here? Perhaps this info was exchanged via PM.

If the tank's new as the OP says (or was bought at least as far back as 2007), then it's far more likely to have the following buoyancy (from Faber's website):

Full -3.80 lb. Empty +2.32 lb.

Their website is nonsencical. Every other specification resource has them at 6.7lbs at 2640psi. I increased the fill pressure to 8lbs to reflect a normally attainable LP cylinder fill to more accurately calculate an actual dive. I assume the other poster did the same...
