I am little bit further away, Terre Haute. Plainfield is my usual stop and eat exit.

I go to the mall and wal-mart often. Infact I go way too much! So does anyone have any diving hints about how to use the correct amount of weight when diving. I am always either way too heavy or way too light. Sometimes ( ok most of the time) my buddy has to pull me down. I never thought I would be so clumsy underwater.

Many formulas but nothing exact. I wear a large wet suit and use 2lbs per mm of wet suit. Add 4 for the weight swing of an AL80 and you should be close.
Best would be to go with what you think is too much and then do a weight check, like was hopefully taught in OW, at the end.

Thanks! I appreciate any advice and hints. I know I should remember everything from class, but I feel like I had the deer in the headlights syndrome at times.
