Re: Optima Trim

With a 3mm Merino long wet suit, at 5'9" and 180lbs, I used 2lbs in each canister pocket with an AL40 sidemounted and AL13 O2/Dil. I was using neutral fins.

With a dry suit, medium undergarments, Steel 27, same sidemounted AL40, neutrally buoyant fins, I have been using 5 pounds in each pockets.

Both trims were OK it seems (might still be a little light in a dry suit and feet heavy) but could use some adjustments. As Mark suggested, CL placement seems critical too.
