So I dove to 18 feet for a (very) short while and was underweighted. With the optima, dry suit, LP27 and 6 pounds on top of the Rebreather, I was too buoyant.

O2 injection induced buoyancy changes seemed manageable (I was at .7, I felt I could breathe down .4 too quickly at 18 feet, 1.3 ATM) but I really can't tell as I was grabbing rocks to stay down.

I'll either put 12 pounds total in the Rebreather pockets (I think that's the max) or get a weight belt / transpac weights.

More later, I guess.
