I am moving from steel faber 15 and 3ltr steel faber pony to twin faber 12's.

I am well aware that this is a "piece of string" question, but does anyone have a rougfh guess as to how much of the 10kg weight to remove from my weightbelt. I know I'll have to sort this out in the pool over the next few weeks, but enough of an estimate to avoid me going through the bottom of the pool on thursday evening and having airhog and dominic laughing their heads off at me would be great

Cheers
As others have said, run twinset down to 30ish bar. You should be able to stay neutral and hold your position at the shallowist safety stop comfortably - imperretive when you start deco.

I dive: 5kg V weights. then in fresh water I have a weight belt with 4kgs on it. In the sea I add 2 kgs. I dive a membrane suit with a 200g undersuit. I am reasonably neutral in the water in my skinnies. I'm 6'2'' and 15 stones.

HTH?
