I just purchased a new 2/3 wetsuit. My old is the same. Same make, NeoSport, different model, XSPAN.
I glued pockets on each thigh. I am not worried too much about the extra neoprene backing on the pockets, but my old suit was well...old.
I lost some of the material in the shoulders and I know I had lost some buoyancy in the suit.
Assuming my set up is the same and and I switched to the new suit, how much weight would one add? Would you add any weight as well for the pockets?
I currently dive with 13 lbs.
Al 80's, in salt.
( I have used the calculations recommended by PADI, but although primarily a benchmark for newer divers, I have found it not all that applicable currently when taking my load out (camera, smb, light, etc.) into consideration.)
