Hi guys:
I've recently bought a PT-037 housing for my Oly 550. Despite what the ads said, the housing is not neutral under water. My housing came without any ballast, to make it neutral, so right now, it's floaty as heck. I'm thinking about making a DIY weight for it, but am lacking information how much weight is required to make the rig neutral.
I could certainly tinker with it in the pool and figure it out with trial and error, but I was hoping that somebody already had the problem, found the solution, and would be willing to provide the information.
I'm only diving saltwater, basically, so would prefer the amount of lead/weight required for that environment, but freshwater ballast required would help and be appreciated too.
