Thanks for the input. I do dive an al80 and i weight myself by doing a standard weight check on the surface and then adding about 4 pounds to compensate for the gas loss as I breathe the tank down. i know it's probably better to just weight myself using a tank that is low on air or near empty...

As a novice/newbie I keep hearing the term (as necessary) when referring to venting during an ascent. What I think a lot of experienced divers forget is (as necessary) means nothing to a beginner. When you say as necessary, in my understanding or lack there of it doesn't really clarify at which...

I have been certified a number of years but my dives have been few and far between and i still consider myself very much a novice. What i have realized lately as I have begun to get back into diving after a hiatus and from talking to other divers is how much I did NOT learn in my certification...
