So next week I will be buying all my my dive equipment (below) and to round off the package I need some weights.
Now, when I was diving at the resorts, I was using 8-10 pounds in warm Caribbean water and that's really the only water I will be diving in.
So, knowing that the rental equipment is different, should I still assume to some degree that I will roughly need the same weight to purchase? I'm doing a 2 week dive trip late august in the keys and need my own weights since I will not be on a resort and even using my own boat. Being in NJ, it will be hard to "test" neutral buoyancy in tropical waters.
Here is the run down of the people:
Male: 5'10'' 158 pounds
Female: 5'5'' 138 pounds (man is she going to kill me if she sees this on here)
Equipment the same for both:
Zeagle Scout BCD
Oceanic Alpha 8 CDX5 regulator
Oceanic Alpha 8 Octo
Oceanic Veo 100 dive computer console
