Ok guys and gals, I have an idea and I want to vett it first.
I’ve got a dive Saturday, the first one back in the water in 130 days. So the first dive will be a weight/bouyancy check and skills drills. That being said, pre-winter I was close to the elusive “hover”. So here’s my plan:
Using my full kit (drysuit, AL80 twinset, etc), I’m thinking about putting a stage bottle on the platform at 20 feet. I’ll bleed my back gas to 500 PSI, and breath off the stage to get the weight check, in full kit, with the 500 PSI most literature recommends. I’ll have two team mates with me if something happens outside of the plan and the stage is a fresh tank. Has anyone ever done or seen something like this? I’m not a fan of doing weight check at the end of the dive for a couple reasons, mostly Bc I don’t wanna fight my position and trim during the dive when I could be hammering essential skills.
