My daughter is 13 and going to be doing OW next month in Cozumel (I screened instructors during a Feb trip).
My wife and I both dive DSS bp/ws. I am planning to buy the same for my daughter. We have steel plates. My daughter is 5'0" and 95 pounds. She is negative in a fresh water pool. Does anyone or do any instructors have any personal experience with how much weight a tiny girl like this needs in a 3 mm? I fear she would be overweighted with a steel plate. I am leaning towards a Kydex plate for her. I'll bring some trim pockets to balance out the weight.
Thanks,
-Mike
