I am diving tomorrow with a 5mm long & a 3mm shorty ontop in a local Quarry in Ohio. I am wondering what to start my weights at? (just bought all my gear and this is my first time out hear after my OW). I am 5' 6" & 123 lbs.


Take the time to do a bouyance check before the dive. This should be routine with new dive equipment. Everyone is different. Start with 10% of your weight and add a few lbs for the exposure suit.

10% of my weight would be 12.5, so 13 lbs is what I'll start with. Thank you for all the info, I'll let everyone know how I did Monday!!
