Hmmm you're sure? I can dive the SK with alu case with 1kg of lead (Using 300bar steel 3l) when wearing 7mm wetsuit. My buddy can dive it with 235bar 3l and SS case without any lead at all using his 400gr undersuit and wetsuit. (Yes I am not the slimest man in the pond
) So yes there's a lot to be gained. Is it enough? Well that's a different matter... But based on OC comparison I lost 4 kg of lead. That and the lighter configuration itself makes this a relatively comfy config.
On OC I used 2KG of lead. On CCR same suit, same undersuit, I use 6Kg + a SS back plate 2.2Kg. When i first started out i used 10Kg no back plate on the YBOD.
The counter lungs have air in and the scrubber is full of air as are the loop hoses. Thats a lot of gas to sink and it doesn't matter what rig you dive there has to be weight to compensate for it.
The SK is a very small unit si of them all I reckon its the lightest, I reckon the Classic Kiss and Evo are next up then the heavy weights like the YBOD Meg and Finlay the super heavy weights like the Boris
