Hi everyone!
After years of diving jacket type bcds I've decided to get a padded oms backplate and harness, with a single tank adapter and a thirty pound wing. The backplate itself is not metal for portability /travel purposes.
I use six pound weights on my sea quest pro qd+ bcd. Most people recommend less weight for a bpw setup, owing to the weight of the plate I'm guessing.
Since my setup is not metal and more akin to a dive rite trans pack, what weight do you guys recommend I start with?
I know the best way to determine this is to take the gear out for a test dive, but I just wanted to get a starting point if there was some 'formula' for transitioning weight from jacket bcds to padded bpw's
