George, On "incorporating weight ... into the back plate," are you talking about permanently "bolting" lead to the back plate, or "clipping" weight to the back plate, or hanging weight on the tank's lower cam strap, or what? Would this involve drilling holes in the (ABS) back plate? Am I understanding correctly? In the gear configuration that includes the dry suit and the heavy tank, I would not be wearing any lead which I could jettison? Regards, Peter A. Sale Midtown Edit Los Angeles CA USA G.
