Diving Weights

[Scalci]

What is the right way to calculate diving weights to be used?

with wetsuit on exhale flly and you should sink until the water reaches eyelevel. on an inhale you will be higher out of the water. this is not a hard and fast rule but a first estmate

different weights for different people, also depends on what thickness suit you will be diving in and will you be needing it for scuba or not? I dive with around 12kg on scuba and thats with a 5mm suite and i weight just under 80kg

Cool thx guys, I use it for spear and cray fishing only. I dive with a 5mm suite and weight 82kg..

I recon that you should be ok with around 10kg, just take a couple of spare weights with when you head for a dive and play around with them

Thx Dorado75 I will just do that.

dont forget to start light and then increase the weight
