Integrated Weights For Cold Water Diving - Zeagle Express Tech BC

[StubbornRussian]

I dive a zeagle express tech with a 44 lb wing. I added a 30 lb ripcord weight system before our recent warm water vacation and like it so much more than a weight belt. Our next couple of dive trips will be in cold water diving 7+7 farmer john wetsuit. My last dives with weight belt and same bcd I was at 36-38 lbs. What would be the best way to make up the last 6 or 8 lbs with this setup? I am a much improved diver since my last cold water trip so I am hoping I might be able to drop a few lbs just because of this. Also, I notice a little bit of forward tilt when on top of the water.

Rear Weight System 16lb - they also install on either tank band so might help with your tilt problem.

It's listed (one of the icons) as an option on the ET deluxe which is the same as yours with the pads added.

Are you saying you needed 36-38#'s of lead ?

Yeah crazy right? I have gotten much more fit since last cold water dives and my air is better so hopefully that number goes down next trip!

The he rear weight system looks perfect.
