I use an ali 80 of 50% which is pretty neutral in the water, and a steel 10ltr which is pretty neutral in the water when filled with 18/45 so my tanks dont really assist on the weighting front anyway.

I can hold a 6m stop with just the unit on and 3m is doable but its uncomfortable to hold for a long time.

Then i add bailout, reels, back up lights and all the other paraphernalia i might have to ditch and i sink just fine. I sink really quickly with two 7s for bailout but as i say the 10 and the 80 dont add much at all, Maybe 1k each for the first stage?
