Wow, I definitely made the right choice of signing up for scubaboard. So much help!
I have a jacket/vest style BCD now (sherwood avid). I have also switched my wetsuit to a full 7mm, will wear a 7/3/1 hood for my dive tomorrow and this is the first time I will be trying all of my equipment. I believe I have 5mm boots and gloves. I'll be using an aluminum tank as well. I was talking to a course director and he said I should aim for 20 lbs but it will take time until I get it right especially that I have a new wetsuit and so I will have to break it in first. I wear a fullsuit lycra underneath my wetsuit (which seems to have no effect on my buoyancy, from what I was told anyway).
I am definitely ready to get as much diving done as I really do enjoy it and would like to perfect my buoyancy someday. If anyone lives in Orange County, let me know!
LimeyX, thanks for the invite! I'll have to see if I can make it to Redondo on time. 405 traffic is horrible coming from Irvine
Thanks everyone!
PS: I will do a buoyancy test when I have 500PSI left in my tank tomorrow!
