I did my first ocean dive this year on the west coast.. my only surprise was the extra weight that I needed.. In Lake Erie in a drysuit with an AL80 I can get to the bottom with 20-25 lbs easy.. nice and comfy.. on the westcoas with the same setup they gave me 45 lbs, and I was still feeling a bit light.. LOL well at least underwater.. That's when I learned to appreciate the lead shot weight bags.snuggle once bubbled...
im going down to the keys in feb for my first dive in the ocean and im really looking forward to it..any advice would be greatly apreciated though..been away from the board a while but its good to be back and see that its hopping as usuall
