Hey,
I have a question about the bouancy of a set of Dubble Aluminum 80's. Please tell me if I am right.
You have a set of Aluminum Dubble 80's. I believe the swing of one aluminum 80 is -3 to +3. So if you had a set of Aluminum Dubble 80's the swing would be around -6 pounds full to +6 pounds when empty. Is this right? So if you were diving no wet suit with a 6 pound backplate you would start out - 12 pounds. Then at the end of the dive you would be neutral right? Then say you added a 7mm wetsuit. It takes you 10 pounds to be neutral with a 7mm. This means at the end of the dive you would be -10 pounds?
Here's my questions:
Plz answer yes or no
1. If you had dubble al 80's the swing would be -6 pounds to +6 pounds?
2. If you had a 6 pound backplate to those dubbles you would be negauive at the end of the dive because -6 + 6 = 0?
3. With a 7mm wetsuit (lets say it takes 10 pounds of lead to get you neutral) added to the dubbles and backplate at the end of the dive you would be 10 pounds heavy.
4. One more. If you had a wing failure at the begining of the dive and you lost all bouancy and you didn't have a wet suit could you posably swim up 12 pounds? Is this right? -6 from tanks plus -6 from backplate = -12?
Thanks
