The trim issues encountered by cave divers is primarily related to side to side trim with secondary considerations given to cylinder placement when diving with multiple cylinders not just one cylinder. As to the HP 120s I alternate between LP85s and the HP120s depending on the cave dive planned profile. Trim wise there is no difference underwater between them. However on big frog kicks with 120s my legs will occasionally hit the cylinders. Also on shore when dealing with gravity the HP120s are ball busters.

Love me or hate me... I'm still here, I broke the curve... Draker doesn't like me because I'm warmer in shorts n Tshirt than he is in a full drysuit and 5mil hood.Quote:

Unless we drive 23 hours, we are in cold water.
A lot of wreck divers like LP 95s or HP100s doubled. They tend to work better when you are wearing Fourth Element Arctic under the dry suit.
one could argue so you aren't breaking the law when cave filling them...Quote:

No draker doesnt like you because you THINK you?re warmer in shorts not because you are. Science tells us otherwise and I dont think anyone can refute that.Quote:

But I wasnt trying to speak for Draker.

buddy of mine has a saying "when you look like a manatee, you can dive like a manatee" particularly with regards to diving in cold water in shorts. If you're only doing hour long dives and you have a lot of bioprene I can get it.Quote:
