Fusion Suit and Weighting

[RecklessAmateur]

Hi folks. So I'm diving this weekend in the Keys this weekend with my Whites Fusion suit (which I love!). I've never dived it in warm water before and am trying to figure out weighting. I weigh 205 and will be diving with just the polypro underwear and a standard AL80 tank. Any suggestions about how much weight I should start with? Thanks. David

Very hard to guess. How much do you usually carry? what undergarments do you usually wear? What tanks do you usually use?

Some assumptions, you're diving a jacket style bcd and the skin is a sport . Also, the polypropylene is thin.

Id guess around 12-15 lbs.
4 for the tank
4 for the suit/undergarment
4 for the bcd

The extra would be for the variables I don't know, skin/undergarment/bcd type.
