I plan to get a twinset of Faber LP85s this summer. I currently dive a single Faber HP100. At first glance, I'll be losing approx 14 lbs from the HP100 and gaining approx 13 lbs back from the double LP85s. So there's a net loss of approx 1 pound. Am I right so far? If so, the total amount of lead I'll carry is approximately the same.
I'm under the impression I might need to move trim weights lower down on the cylinders or use a V weight.
I use a drysuit with 400 g undergarments. I'm 5'10" (177.8 cm). With my HP100, I dive with 4 x 5 lbs of lead, a 6 lb Halcyon SS backplate, and a 2 lb Halcyon STA.
Any advice on how I should distribute the weight? During a test drive with double AL80s in a pool, I was a little head heavy.
I hear it's common to switch to aluminum backplates when moving to twinsets. True?
