I am new to diving and had a question about how much weight to use. I did my checkout dives at Vortex Spring, FL. I used a full 7mm suit and used 15 lbs. That seemed to work OK but it was fresh water and my next dive will be salt water. I know that there is a difference in the bouancy of the two. I was told that a good base starting weight is 10% of your total body weight. I just dont want to get caught out on a boat and not have enough weight. I weight about 185lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
