Buoyancy difference between suits

[jar546]

I dive a CF200 and know my weighting well based on the different types of thermals and whether or not I am in salt or fresh water.

Barring other variables and looking at the suits themselves, is there a buoyancy chart that shows the difference between a CF200 and the TLS350?

Is there a significant difference or is it negligible?

Base it on an XL

Good question! We get this one a lot as everyone thinks of neoprene as buoyant. However, crushed neoprene has no buoyancy whatsoever. As a matter of fact it is slightly negatively buoyant. The nylon on the outside of the suit can trap a few bubbles of air, but once that works itself out, there is no difference in buoyancy between the TLS and CF. Thanks for asking!

Thanks Faith. I assume my weighting will not change.

There should not be any changes. Hope you enjoy the new suit.
