I am looking at picking up the scout for traveling. But I want to make sure I am doing my math correctly. I did use the calculator on the sticky, but tell me if my reasoning is correct.
Locally I dive exclusively steel tanks - usually HP130 or 100. With a 3mm wet (what I would be wearing during warm water travel). I wear 9 lbs lead in salt water, so I figure I would use 15 lbs with an AL80 at the resort. I used the calculator and this is also what I got. (I adjusted the wet suit buoyancy until I got the weight what I currently wear.) It says then I need 18 lbs lift. So if my reasoning is correct, the scout should work for me? Am I anywear on the right path?
For those of you that use the scout, how well dose it pack for traveling. I current have a brigade, it is slightly bulky (and a little to big for me now, that is why I am looking for another)
