As a warm water vacation diver, how much weight am I carrying on my back? I’m trying to get stronger and want to have a rough idea how much weight (as in weight lifting) I should work towards to climb up boat ladders more easily. That is an area I need work on.
So I know my current bc weighs about 7-8lbs, and I carry about 14 lbs of lead. I guess I need to add to that the weight of the tank...any guidance in finishing this calculation will be much appreciated.
I’m going to hazard a guess that I should work towards being able to carry 30lbs easily. And this is only for warm water diving...cold water diving is another story.
Am I thinking right?
