I just finished my OWD. For some reason I seemed to need more than twice as much weight as anyone else? The instructor put 20 lbs on me in the pool, and was debating on adding another 5, and couldnt figgure out why I needed so much. Im only 5'11" and 185 lbs.
I was in a shorty 3 mm wetsuit and was using and Excursion BCD (we even tried a different BCD on day 2 incase there was some air trapped.)
I had no problem with the fin pivot (with the 20 lbs) or the neutral boancy float.
I am just curious as to why I seemed to need so much more weight than everyone else?
