Chances are if your too floaty with a full tank at the start of the dive then your going to be looking at another couple of kg at least. This should then give you enough weight for the end of the dive, ensuring a controlled ascent. Guess you'll have to do some bouyancy checks with different amounts of air in your tanks and see how you get on.
You will probably find you can shed some weight as you get used to your new equipment, I know I did.

Hiya!
I got my fourth element top for a snip at 30 quid off ebay.....definately worth the investment!
Looks like I'll have to get another couple of kg's then...
I certainly hope that I'll be able to shed some weight after a while otherwise I'll end up having to carry enough weight to 'sink a battleship'.....Boom, Boom....
Thanks for you help....
Cheers
