Dove with my pony for the first time today outside of a pool. I was very lopsided. Felt very heavy overall. I sling it on my left side (I have a BP/W). Do I take some weight off my left side or not? Pony is 30 cft.
I'm currently diving dry with 31 lbs - steel BP and weighted STA are 11 lbs. Remainer of weight: 2 x 5 lbs in waist weight pockets, 2 x 3 lbs in upper cam band pouches, 2 x 2 lbs in lower cam band pouches. I have pouches on lower cam bands as I was stuffing 7 lbs in each waist pocket, but the Halcyon pockets are only rated for 5 lbs and the 2 extra pounds made getting the pockets closed very difficult. And, yes, I need a lot of weight. I'm naturally very buoyant, add drysuit and Fourth Element Arctic undies, and I'm floaty as hell. I've tried going a bunch lighter and I was a bobbing cork.
