How much lead do you carry?
Been diving for 18 years on and off but new to Drysuit diving. I have fairly buoyant gear and a large BC (Fusion). First time I went out I tried 34 pounds....definitely not enough. Tried 39..wasn't enough to sink me so I had to use a line to pull myself down. Was OK at 25 feet and beyond, but as soon as I hit half tank up I went. Tried 44 lbs...still not enough to sink me at the surface.
Tomorrow I'm going out with 50 pounds and hoping it will allow me to actually finish a dive this time. Is it normal to need this much weight? How much weight are you using??
