When I test out my weighting with a new gear configuration, I make an educated guess as a starting point and do a shore dive. With a sandy bottom at 15 ft. I purge my tank down to about 500 psi and remove weights by placing them on the sand until I'm no longer neutral. I pick up enough weight to be neutral again and that's my future weighting for that configuration.
Excellent suggestion. And thanks RonFrank for your input too. I (we) do know how to properly check for neutral buoyancy, just questioning the best way to do it without disturbing you experienced folks. You guys rock!
