Is there a chart perhaps to know where to begin establishing weight? Begin with 10 percent of your weight and add how much based on how thick your suit is if using one.

Just remember to input your wetsuit thickness in actual mm, instead of advertised "thickness". That's one big source of error, since many manufacturers will include a neutrally buoyant inner liner that traps heat, and call their suit a "5mm" when there are only 3mm of neoprene. Look at the edge where the zipper is and measure that.
