My wife and I are new divers up here in the PNW. We dive with thick wetsuits or drysuits and carry a lot of weight as a result.
We are going to Bonaire for a couple of weeks of diving. We will be in 3/2mm wetsuits, diving AL 80 (Buddy Dive) tanks.
I know the best answer is to do a bouyancy test once we are there (and we will), but for educational, planning and discussion purposes:
About how much weight will an average sized male (5'7", 155) need for warm water diving in 3/2mm suit and AL 80 tanks? 5 lbs for the wetsuit and 5 for the AL tank at 500 psi? More?
Thanks in advance.
