doubles

twin independents that is. but which ones?
in the following table, the column "tanks and weights" corresponds to the weight of the (empty) tanks plus all the weight i need when using my drysuit with light undergarments (one layer of fleece). at the moment i mainly use a 95 catalina 240bar (plus a luxfer 80) so that would be the more accurate estimate for the weight needed.

"tanks and weights 1" is for single tank, "tanks and weights 2" is for doubles with some effort to take into account the extra regs. i use this website to calculate buoyancy characteristics, so the numbers are not terribly accurate.
