Ok, so I am considering changing my twin steel 72's out to twin aluminum 80's...(yes, I am an air hog..lol) In my line of thinking I am going from -7.4lbs (empty tank) to +8.8lbs (empty tanks) in buoyancy. To me, this means I would have to add 15.4lbs to my current 31lbs that I regularly use?
If this is so, would it also be safe to add that weight in the form of a "in between tanks" weight? So it is permanently attached to the bc/tanks..and I would be able to surface quickly if I ever had to dump my bc weight and weight belt..
For my configuration I currently use 18lbs in my Zeagle, 10 on a belt, and 1.5 on each ankle. In this case I would quickly be able to dump 28 of my 46lbs..
