I am now perplexed over the required weight computations. I don't want to buy far more weight than I need and cannot figure out how much I will need.
You will not be able to figure that out until you get in the water.
All the more reason to hold off on your purchasing until you've been in the ocean in SCUBA gear, IMO.
Rental gear is included in your course fees. If you don't use it, you lose it.
