Tobin,
I have a couple of questions: If I am doing a buoyancy check for my dry suit I would want to have on just my U/G and dry suit with no air in it, will this include, fins/gloves/hood/mask also. I would assume so since they effect buoyancy but would like to know for sure. I am looking for eye level with a full breath? Sink when I exhale?
Once I have that number I would subtract out the negative weight of my rig? correct?
For me that is a -6lb SS plate, -6lb STA, and I typically use an HP100 so -3 when empty and -2 for my regs. So what ever number I come up with it will be less 17lbs? Is this correct so far?
Ok, if that is all correct or assuming you will correct where I have made a mistake, once I have obtained this neutrally buoyant rig at the end of the dive my question would be how much do add for air to be used in the Dry suit, if any? And does this change depending on the under garment being used?
Thanks in advance for your assistance
