I'm late to read this, but as a reference, with a Zeagle SS/BP&W, DUI Weight and Trim, Whites Fusion(mk3), LP95, I carry 32pds, and I'm 185 and 6ft.
I also wear the heavier Scuba Pro Jet Fins. I can actually go 30, but then towards the end of the dive I'm really fighting buoyancy in the shallows, or have to do a deco stop on low air. Even 31 was some work.
Thanks for asking! Right now I'm carrying 16# of lead (way nicer than the 26# from before!) With this I can easily hold a safety stop at 500psi. Once I went out with 12# of lead and couldn't descend. So somewhere between 16# and 12# is the right weight. I'm going to decrease by 1# at a time until it's just right.
Thanks for asking! Here's the rig (haven't weighed the components yet):
Eclipse small SS BP with weighted single tank adaptor
TLS-350 suit with xm450 underlayer
nylon weight belt with SS buckle, 16# total for now
jet fins
rental HP100 tank
