Hi All,
I know there's plenty of these threads going around, been through a few of them but hey everyone's different Hopefully, the experts on this board can give me a pointer.
I'm not too sure about the Summer config since I only started diving back then, but I know with my winter gear, if I drop 1KG to 11KG I have difficulty holding a shallow under 5m dive with a near empty tank. But from reading various threads I get the impression that I should be able to drop some weight.
My height and weight: 186cm / 62KG (~6'1 / 136lbs)
I'm really skinny with almost no fat on me, which also explains why I am constantly cold
Winter Gear:
Trilam Drysuit
200g thinsulate undergarment
full body lavacore / sharkskin
thin wicking long sleeve shirt and long john
Neoprene boots, hood, gloves
12.2L Steel tank
Weight carred: 12KG (~26lbs)
Summer Gear:
5mm Wetsuit
5mm hodded vest
Neoprene boots, hood, gloves
12.2L Steel tank
Weight carred: 9KG (~20lbs)
I fall within acceptable limits if I look at PADI's tables but that's probably slightly overweight I gather?
