I have 3 different immersion suits, 4 if you could my swim suit, that I will be using at a pool to dial in my weights.
The pool is fresh water.
I know that I should have about 500 psi in the tank, however, I see 2 problems doing that:
1) 4-6 dives in a pool. I will be going in and out of the pool and I am certain that I will have drained down my tanks to below a point that I could breath from. I want some safety so that the lifeguard does not have to come in and rescue my sorry @$$.
2) It is ridiculously cold out. It is hovering around -10 C to -20 C. I do not have a place that is heated that I could put the tanks so that I could relieve that much pressure. I am certain that cracking the valve at this temperature would eventually cause a freeze up of the valve.
So, How do I do this? I want to go in with my dry suit (Change the layers a few times) and my wetsuits and get some good numbers for my weights.
I plan to be diving in fresh water this summer anyways.
Oh, and, what is the basic math for figuring out what I need for fresh and for salt water?
