I don't know. We're all different, but I use: (7 mil farmer john, hood, gloves):Salt water, steel 120 OR steel 71.2--34 lbs. (20 in BC, 14 in belt). Al 80: 6 more lbs. Fresh water: steels--just the 20 (no less) in the BC-add the 6 more for Al 80. The buoyancy check doesn't lie-whatever it is, it is.
 
I can't get below 16 pounds of lead with a 2mm shorty. Can't hang loose at the safety stop with less. I'm 180 pounds and 35% body fat which I can't seem to lower. That's what you have to deal with at 70 unless you starve yourself and work out, both of which I ain't doing.
