Did initial training in the N. Fl caves. AL plate, drysuit, 3L fabers & a 3lb weight mounted high on the can had me weighted and trimmed perfectly....

Got back out this past weekend in a 3mm in salt water and I was way heavy....
On the reef in 15' I pulled the lead off and still sank, w/ an empty wing and normal loop...

I'm about ready to try out a set of AL 19's to shave two more pounds off... then I'm back to adding weight to balance....

Just how high do folks slide the tanks up?
