Hello all,
Yes, I am just starting out, but I like the tech set up. I am currently working on my bouncy and weighting and have many questions. For what it's worth, I dive dry with HP steel tanks (singles only).
I keep reading "a balanced rig". Here is my question. Does this mean the BP/W or BP/W and Diver or BP/W and Diver separately balanced?
After watching this video (Frog Kick & Buoyancy Control skill - YouTube), the diver removed this doubles. I couldn't tell if he had a weight belt or harness, but his body didn't move (sink if wearing a weight belt)
Lets say that for what ever reason, a diver needed to ditch his BP/W, wouldn't you only want to have just enough weight on you (no gear, just dry suit) to be neutrally buoyant?
Now lets say, you do ditch the BP/W, wouldn't your gear sink?
Any help would be great on this matter to properly weigh my self and/or my BP/W, so looking for weighting configurations options.
