Re: how much lead?

Most of the replies so far seam to be on the light side - Am I doing somthing wrong?

Setup: 3L steel tanks, 5 lb SS back plate
Drysuit: TLS 350 with polartec 300 (5'6" 155 lbs, I sink in a pool)
Canister light: 2 lbs
Lead: 8 lbs on belt and 6 lbs up on the tanks (trim)
Total: 5 + 2 + 8 + 6 = 21 lbs
All air needs to be dumped out of the wing to submerge (min volume in dry suit)

My total weight is closer to the setup I use when diving with an single AL80

Comments?
