tbone,
This is the DSS forum. I know you mean well, but I have a specific method for calculating weighting and buoyancy, adding new factors can lead to confusion.
My standard method for divers using buoyant suits and single tanks is to adjust their buoyancy so they are eye level as the surface with no gas in their wing and a full tank.
That already accounts for the mass of their head.
Personal buoyancy will impact total ballast, but it need not be compensated for, as it does not change WRT depth.
