Thanks for the help. When in the Caribbean for weight in my jacket bc I have 14# well using a 3mm wet suit. If I add a 3mm vest or 5mm wet suit then I use 16#. Thats using a AL 80. I dive to 130 ft once in a while but usually go 80 to 100 ft. Thats what I will be using it for on vacation.

At home I don't dive much just go out in lake Ontario or Cayuga 3 or 4 times a year and have not been deeper than 20 ft. but in the future I may want to start diving deeper here so if that happened getting the 30# of lift would be the better choice.

I guess my question is if I got the 30# and used it in the Caribbean will I notice a big difference between it and the 18# or is it something I would not be able to tell the difference between?

As for the bp is there any advantage to not getting the traveler? I want it just because it is smaller and easy to pack.
