(edit)Weight: The loop is about 6L of gas. The wing is 22Kg. It's just a trim adjustment, not weight dumping time.(/edit)
I don't yet dive an Rebreather, but I've been exposed to a few. My understanding is the loop volumes are more like 16-20L, maybe more, although the 16-20L volume is typical of what is actually used. (min loop volume)

I would guess that the volume of the breathing hoses alone is ~ 3kg. This does not include the volume of the CL's, head or scrubber.

What am I missing?
