Unless the boat doesn't provide weights... in which case they won't give you any.

1) When I go to rent, do they ask me what kind of weight distribution to provide???
2) When I get my own BC, how do I go about getting weights and making sure they're distributed properly? Does the DM help with that? Do I have to rent a guide to go with me? Do I have to buy a number of each weight to bring along? How do I go about figuring out if I want to use a weight belt?
3) Until I get a dive computer, any recommendations for an inexpensive dive watch?
4) I know I can't use this with the water temps I have local right now, but is there any other reason why I couldn't dive in a 3/4 surfing wetsuit?
5) Does anyone dive alone when going on a boat?
A wetsuit is a wetsuit. If you feel it keeps you warm, it's fine.
Just a quick comment . . . not all charters provide weights. The ones here in Puget Sound carry a few weights, in case someone forgets theirs or loses one. The boats in SoCal do the same, but in both places, the diver is expected to arrive with his own weights.
