I'm just getting a chance to try this out. Pretty neat. Thanks.
I used it to check my current set up. I consider myself properly weight with my present set up. I'm 5' 8.5", 155 lbs. I use a jacket style BCD and carry 8lbs (4 trim, 4 intergrated ditchable). I dive in a 2mm shorty (old) and only dive Al80's.
I left my BCD at zero as I do not know what it is (Sherwood Avid a couple of years old, so pretty new).
This has me at the end of the dive at -1.2 @ surface and -2.6 @ 15'. This feels about right to me.
On my last dive, I was curious if I could reduce my weight, so I did a check with a tank at 1000 psi (no 500 psi available) without the 4lbs ditchable. Letting out all the air out of the BCD and lungs didn't have me going under much and as soon as I took a breath, I was up.
I'm planning on getting the Xdeep Ghost which they say is about 5lbs, so using this it seems I can remove 4lbs and just dive with 4lbs.
Do I have this correct?
