I currently use 19 lbs in cold freshwater with a 7mm suit and an AL80. 5 lbs from the plate, 6 lbs (2 x 3lbs) in the harness pockets, and 8 lbs on a weight belt. Looking to drop 5 or 6 lbs off the belt by switching to a smaller sized steel tank like an LP85 or E7-100. I'm getting one of Tobin's weight plates to help compensate for the extra buoyancy of the AL80 tanks when I have to use those (vs. steel), I'll report back once I've had a chance to test it underwater.
