Can't help with the weighting though as I don't know what the cylinders weight, but the pool is the best place to start. Personally I would go in with just the backplate, harness and what you normally wear to dive in a puddle (undersuits etc) and no weights. Then gradually clip weights on until you can hover with nearly empty tanks. Once you have the weighting sorted you can distribute it to get the trim right.

HTH
Thanks Gareth, the go in with no weights has been suggested and I will be packing all the weight blocks I own in the car. It will be trial and error; as for the trimming issue with 10's, I have heard both sides of the story.

It's one of these things that is 'don't know until you try', and have 6 months to get it right, as this is going to be my Scapa rig in June! (hopefully.)

Cheers,
Lou
