When setting up your rig, do you class your Suit Inflation Bottle as potentially ditchable weight or do you weight yourself to be neutral with it?
Or does the suit inflation rig not make any difference in weighting? I've just purchased a 1.5L Ali bottle but I've not had a chance to dive it yet.

Cheers.

Suit inflation doesn't change anything in weighting similar to deco/stage bottles. During the dive it will probably swing from slightly negative to slightly positive but it will be almost unnoticable.
