Re: Shaving some weight off the Meg???

I have both rigs (Mini and Std plenum), use whichever one is appropriate for the type diving I'm doing with a cut down (Golem) backplate and OMS 35 lb wing. I generlly use Faber 19s (well, a 23 FX for the dil side) with the std rig and Faber 13s with the mini, both using the same COPIS head with HH secondary and Shearwater on the fourth cell. I hang a two lb weight atop each inverted tank to get my trim right. It shaves about 13lbs from the rig when I use the mini cannister and Faber 12s, with the std ISC Mini scrubber (vice the Golem 8 lb scrubber in the std.). I don't need any additional weight belt lead with either rig (I dive wet.)
