Using a buoyancy calculator that I find to be pretty accurate, I ran her weight, suit, fresh water, and assumed an aluminum 80 for the tank. It can up with 17lbs. You really don’t want to be duck diving and kicking to get down at the start of the dive - by the end of the dive an AL 80 will be 5 lbs more buoyant, which risks not being able to maintain a safety stop or even control ascent.
Sounds like she needs to add lead.
