Im sure this has been asked before but I have done a search and can get a clear answer to my question.
I know there is no exact math to it, but is there a recomendation for new divers that determines how much weight is needed for body size, gear, etc.
I am 5'10, 200 lbs, decent muscle, using a 100cfm steel tank, no wet suit, diving the fl keys, no more than 50 feet deep.
I need to buy a new weight belt with the soft pouches but need an idea of how much weight needed before i go do a buoyancy check on my first dive. I have lost almost 40 lbs since last year and was borrowing a friends weight belt so that doesnt help me much. I dont remember how much weight i was using sorry.
Any help here is appreciated.
