Doing some research for product development-weight used for diving doubles

[Leadking]

I am doing some market research and need to know the following info;

What kind of suit/underwear combination.
What kind of doubles (brand/pressure/size)
How much counterbalance weight used (lead/ss backplate/etc) including weight belt.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll play along.

DUI TLS350+ 400g Thinsulate
PST LP104s filled to 3600 or Worthington X8-130s, filled to 3600
6lb SS backplate. I'll add an 8lb v-weight if I'm diving helium (generally greater than 30%)

I might not be the best data point - my lungs are significantly larger than average. Still:

I'm 6'2" @ 195 lbs

Fusion Tech
Santi BZ400 w/thin Duofold skin layer
Santi 400 vest
Otter Bay 12mm hood

Worthington HP 100's @ 3500 psi
Steel plate

Sea Water: 10 lb V-Weight + 6 lbs on belt

If carrying a typical stage load of (1) Al80 & (2) Al40's, I will add 8 lbs to the belt.


All the best, James
