kaila bcd

[nickclb]

Hi,
I have just float tested my partners Kaila XS bcd. It sinks fully inflated (using the lower pressure inflator) with 14kg air cylinder and 10kg of weights in the weight pockets. Could you please confirm what weight of cylinder and personal weights combined this bcd should keep afloat. Many thanks.

well if the tank is full i would say this is right, a full tank will sink in most cases. and the 10 kg is there to make the diver and suit just about sink with no air in the bcd. so then a fully inflated bcd will in this case have 140 neutons of life about 14 kg. so enough to float the diver.
