Last year, I was diving rentals (AL80s) and weighed about 150. 10 lbs on my weight belt seemed about right. I recently purchased Pressed Steel E7100s. Their buoyancy is about 6 lbs less according to the chart that diveriteexpress has on their website. I have also gained about 12 lbs (long winter). I forgot the formula that relates body weight to belt weight. I am assuming that the 12 lbs is fat, not muscle (probably lost a couple of lbs of that also). So what's a good guess as to what I should be wearing now. Maybe 6 lbs??
Got a dive trip scheduled this weekend and don't want to be fussing with weight adjustments of the side of the boat.
Thanks,
Dave
