Inherent Buoyancy of Zeagle BCD

[SCU5]

Hi All,

I just bought a Zeagle Stiletto, yet to dive with it. I was curious what the inherent buoyancy of this (and other) Zeagle BCD is? Looking to get an idea of how much weight I'll need next month in Hawaii. Moving from a Cressi-Sub Aqualight R that had 2 or 3 lbs of positive lift.

Thanks!
Jimmy

My old Ranger was around 4 lbs. My advise to simply test it yourself. Take it to a pool, get all the air out (both the bladder and padding) and clip on weights (or stuff them in the pockets) unit it sinks. An off hand guess is around 3 lbs or less. My Scout is pretty much neutral.

Thanks Herman,

Yeah, unfortunately I don't really have a pool around that I can go dunk it in. Was curious if there were any benchmark answers out there. Hoping that it's like your Scout, pretty neutral (which is what I was planning to get but was out of stock).

Lake, big mud puddle or tarsh can works in a pinch
