Hello everybody,
I've been puzzled for some time picking the right wing and made this small excel spreadsheet to assist me. It helps choosing the right lift for your wing/BC, picking enough _and_not_more_ lead and shows your buoyancy at the various stages of dive.
Start with section 1 and see how the table changes and the required lift/amount of weight are displayed in section 2.
Post your feedback/suggestions here or pm/email me.
Enjoy!

PS. IMHO this may be helpful not only to novice divers but also to advanced ones.
