So I dive twin 12L steel tanks with a 300 bar manifold, a steel backplate and hollis f1 fins.
My drysuit is a bare hdc tech dry. My undergarments for 12°c water are a base layer of compression gear, a layer of basic thermals and then a Bare CT200 polarwear extreme thinsulate jumpsuit.
Now with all of this, I've been diving with 9kgs extra for <5m deep shore dives, and 7kg for deeper boat dives.
Does this seem right? I feel as if I'm having to add way too much weight. I usually have my drysuit valve all the way open to allow easy venting, so I'm not sure if I've got too much air in my drysuit.
Is it just because these thinsulate undergarments trap so much extra air?
Anybody with experience using this product, or something similar able to give me an idea?
