That's...a lot. I'm about your size and weight, and with an alu backplate/wing (so a little negatieve right there), adding 10lbs is more than enough to sink me, and I suspect I can drop a few more (will test it out on the next dive trip). I can sink myself in just swim trunks with an exhale alone.
I thought it was too. I believe 15 years ago I used 12 pounds but I can't remember.
I think the saltwater got denser over the years.
