Hello everyone. I want to dial in my required weight in preparation for a liveaboard trip to the Bahamas that I will soon be doing. I haven't done a weight check yet as I don't have that many dives under my belt, and have been switching between rental drysuits and wetsuits in different conditions. I recently got an aluminium backplate and wing setup and own a 5mm full wetsuit, both of which I will be using on the liveaboard trip. Ideally, I want to do an "end-of-dive" weight check with a cylinder at 50 Bar. I know that you're supposed to do the check at safety-stop depth (5m/16ft), but I only have access to a pool that is 4 meters deep (even shallower if I'm staying buoyant off of the bottom). Is it possible to do a "proper" weight check even at shallower depths? Anything I need to think about when doing a weight check at the "wrong depth"? Another factor is that I'll be doing the weight check in a pool but will be diving in salt water. To complicate things further, I can only get rental steel tanks here, but will be diving with al80 tanks in the Bahamas though they apparently have al100s. Any suggestions on how to get a good weight check done with all things considered?
Thanks All!
