Still too cold for comfort in my used 7mil - 50f was tolerable last fall in the deep. Unfortunately, my dry-suit came in too late to get checked out last fall. Later in the season, I'll be looking for a buddy up at Dutch - bought my season pass last October.
Who are you doing AOW with? Wondering if you can jump in on one of their pool classes and play around to get things dialed in where it is super easy to observe and change things ...
Do you dive AL or steel? Reason that I ask is that with an HP100 steel, 7/5mil, and me (5'10" 185# and generally a sinker - anterior, abdominal flotation only), I'm running about 14-16 lbs total. Obviously, it depends on the tank, wetsuit, and your personal geometry/bioprene. I'm also foot heavy and run 3-4lbs on the upper cam band and 10-12 in waist pockets using neutral fins. I have shifted my tank up as far as practical to help get my CG up.
