Hey guys,
I'm 6' 170lbs, and fairly lean (i'm a sinker). Anyways, I've been diving a SS backplate (5#), a steel 72, and 5 lbs of lead on my belt with a 4 mm fullsuit. The water is getting colder now, and I'm gonna wear a 7mm suit. I'm wondering about how many pounds I need to add to compensate for the extra 3mm thickness. I was guessing maybe 3? But I really don't know...
Also, my GF just finished her OW class. She is 120 lbs, and in her class dove with a 3mm fullsuit, an aluminum 63, and 12 lbs of lead. Now however, she will be diving with me with:
a 7mm fullsuit
a steel 72
and in saltwater
How much weight do you think she'll need?
Thanks,
Nate
