I have recently acquired a couple of Blue Steel (Faber) HP 133 tanks. Been diving Catalina AL 80’s . Question is where to start with my next weight check. I am thinking about 10 lbs off . Am I close? Or at least a good place to start?
Has anyone ever done a chart up on the various tanks compositions and sizes with a +/- system as to you buoyancy? As in add 2lbs lead for #$&*()’
Subtract 6 lbs lead for @;7,$£¥
Just kinda curious, my LDS has various tanks in their rental program and it’s a bitch...
Just purchased my first dry suit , 4 mm compressed neoprene. I am fairly buoyant, I currently dive with roughly 48 lbs with an AL80 and a two piece 7mm farmer John (50f water) . Any ideas how much lead to add to start out with? Thinking 4-6 lbs does that sound about right?

anyone have a rough idea how old of a medical most places will accept ? Doing one trip next week , ang hopefully another in September. Just wondering if I can get two trips out of one medical.
Thinking about a trip to Roatan next year, CoCo view or Fantasy island? Or does anyone have any other favourites? Was really looking st CCV but it's their Saturday to Saturday policy that makes it hard. I can fly direct from Montreal only on Mondays !
I know everyone has been there at one point in time. I have almost 30 logged dives at this point, PADI OW cert ( at this point hopefully doing SDI Advanced Adventure course soon).
So anyways, looking at purchasing a BC and Reg set.
LDS sells Sherwood and Zeagle for sure maybe some others...
