Hi
I often dive in the Red Sea. Generally speaking, the centres i use have 12L and 15L alloy tanks (this is a designation, I know internal volumes may not reflect this exactly). Sometimes on a more demanding dive or due to low fill or tank problem it may be necessary to switch to a 15L tank without the opportunity to do a buoyancy check. I do not change my weights yet I hear people advising form one extreme - take off 2 Kg because it is heavier and PUT ON 2Kg because it is lighter when nearly empty. The best informative site I have found on the subject is :-
weight adjustment when changing from 15 litre to 12 litre scuba diving tanks
It seems to reinforce my argument - does anybody else have any advice or comments an the article
Thanks all
