I need a buddy

[MCHRISK]

I might need a buddy for Saturday in Monterey if my regular buddy can't make it.
Most likely he wont be able to make it.I'll also need someone with some patience as its my first salt water dive in my drysuit so i know I'm going to have to figure out how much weight.
Thanks
Chris

Do you know how much weight you need in fresh water? Then it's easy: Take the weight of
the system (diver and ALL gear including lead) and multiply by .0256. Add that much
lead. Typical saltwater is .0256 times more dense than fresh.

If you don't know how much lead you need in fresh water, you aren't ready to take
the drysuit in salt water.

Thanks I did do a lake dive last week but had too much weight should of fine tuned then but we were in a hurry to find an old bridge. I'm going to be down there today
i,ll fine tune my weight at breakwater tonight.

Looks like i needed 5lbs LESS then my wetsuit and I'm OK with that.
