    Does this sounds right?

    Hello, does this sound right. Im 115 pounds 5,5, So thats about 11.5 pounds on the belt, I dive a drysuit it takes about 4 pounds to sink me with it on. So thats 14.5 pounds on the weight belt, I have a backplate that weighs in at 6.4 pounds with a built in sta on the wing that is 3 pounds. Does this sound right, for a small guy with me diving dry will 14.5 pounds sink me and my drysuit.

    I dunno...does 14.5 lbs sink you in your drysuit?

    Hint: Take some extra lead with you to your dive site (and some place to put it in that fancy-shmancy BP/W) and do a weight-check.

    Cheers,
    Austin
