I went online to some site, I forgot now, where you can calculate how much weight you'll need to get neutral buoyancy. I just got a new BC and was curious how much weight I would need to adjust.
I found it curious that the sire requires you to enter your "skill level" (novice thru pro).
So when I calculate using myself as "novice" I get the following estimate:
In Salt water, weighing 200 lbs, with a 3mm one-piece wet suit and Steel 80:
You will need an estimated 14 lbs of weight (+/- 1 lbs).
But when I recalculate claiming to be a pro, I get the following estimate:
In Salt water, weighing 200 lbs, with a 3mm one-piece wet suit and Steel 80:
You will need an estimated 12 lbs of weight (+/- 1 lbs).
Who woulda ever thunk that the law of physics dictates that your buoyancy changes the smarter you get.
