Ok so i dive a simple hogarthian harness bp/w with a aluminum bp and worthington steel 119 for this set up i need no lead weight. however i have been doing research for school with NOAA and they prefer for me to use there tanks which are alum. 80's Im fine with this i just dont know how to go about weighting myself for the change. Im diving a 5mm full suit... last dive i added weight pockets to my top cam band and put 5lbs in each pocket and was still a little light i cant really cram any more weight in the pockets and dont really want to have that much in there. i was thinking of switching to a steel backplate but then im afraid i will be to negative when im diving my steel tank. also to complicate matters im very leg heavy so the combination of the longer 80 tank tends to throw off my trim slightly. soooo if anyone has any ideas on what would be the most convenient way of switching btw steel and alum. tanks that doesnt involve buying a new seperate rig lol. . it would be much appreciated.
