I've begun thinking, rather tentatively, about eventually migrating to doubles, and maybe taking tech courses in the future, but am unsure about my options for tanks. If I know what I should be acquiring, I could keep an eye out for deals. I'm currently diving a compact AL80 and Kydex plate, wearing a 1mm skin, with no lead.
I think doubled steels are out the question because I would be significantly negatively buoyant in the case of wing failure. Are my only options doubled standard AL80s, maybe AL63s or 72s, with a weight belt to dump in case of wing failure? All that extra buoyancy over my torso when the tanks are empty sounds like it would do awful things to my trim.
