(all other factors being the same
But they're not.
If you wear the same thermal protection in fresh as you would in salt, you're likely about to freeze your tootsies.
The temperature will be different, you'll want a thicker suit, maybe a hood and booties, you'll be more buoyant. If not, you'll be cold.
Advice? The only real solution is logged experience and that "time wasting" pre-dive weight check. Ahh, the passing momentary embarrassment of doing that process right there in front of the cool kids. It will be o.k., just go and learn.
Report back, maybe there is an equation that PADI can issue a patch for.
