No scuba, period. The bubbles scare them away!

Hi Christi,
I hope I don't buzzer you too much with my questions, but here is another one:
Do they supply weight belts for neutral buoyancy or you have to bring one if you are allowed?
Thank you
Paul

No weight belts. Why would you need one? They want you positively buoyant, not neutral and not negative.

You are REQUIRED to wear a flotation device whether that be a wet suit or one of the supplied life jackets.

Thank you for your fast response.
I intend to record the event so a neutral buoyancy will help me dive for a few seconds (15 to 20 seconds) and get a better shot if possible and considering that I'll use an SPK housing that are very buoyant having a weight belt to make me neutral will be a great help.

Yes, I understand how weight belts work and what they are for and how they can help in photographic/video situations.

Again, they REQUIRE you to wear flotation devices because they do not want you neutral or negative. This is not optional. Positive buoyancy is required for this experience if you're going to follow the rules.

Remember, no flash allowed either, so leave it at home or in Coz.
