Diver With Altitude

For a 7 mm full suit in fresh water, it underestimated my need by 2.5 lb if I enter body fat as "average" (more true than it used to be, but I'm still pretty lean). I'm about to go on a warm water trip with a 3 mm full suit and I'm guessing I'll need 2-3 lb more than what it's calling for. I'll be interested to see if the difference is consistent. For comparison, the Dive Buddy calculator (which allows fewer inputs) overestimated my cold freshwater weight requirement by 2 lb.I have found the scuba otter website to be way off of my lead requirement for a 3mm full wetsuit, AL80, in salt water. Even with a higher body fat category, this website underestimates my actual weight requirements.
