    New guy looking for weighting advice

    My thoughts: You not fully exhaling. 28 lbs sounds like a lot, especially with a 3 mil suit. I remember when I started, I was not full exhaling and was breathing in the upper half of my lungs.

    Wet Suit Issue Monterey Checkout Dive

    You want a tight, but comfortable fit for your wetsuit. I don't know your story with diving, but if you are going to stay with it for a while, I would recommend purchasing your own wetsuit as renting will be a crap shoot. Try on many different brands and find the one that fits your body best. I...

    what was the first dive gear you purchased?

    My wetsuit. It kinda bothered me thinking about renting something that other people probably peed in. Plus I dive in 50 degree water and the new neoprene seemed warmer. Then I bought my regs and BCD all together on a Father's Day sale! :D

    I wanted to respond to your responses, but I just don't have time. Although I appreciate your ambition to put yourself as close to real life situations as possible, safety and other drills are NOT meant to put someone at risk to where you do have an actual emergency on your hands. The point...
