I did a search but wasn't able to find an answer to this question, so forgive me if it has already been addressed somewhere else......
I am about to purchase my first doubles setup. I will be diving dry with ss b/p, steel doubles, etc. I know that with the addition of items like this that most divers need little, if any additional weight. My question is about weighting, or maybe more appropirately, buoyancy. So here goes...
1. We all know the test for buoyancy taught in the ow courses (floating at eye level) but is that the same that you would use diving hog?
2. As with most recreational divers it has been ingrained in me that I need ditchable weight...is that really necessary?
3. What if my setup isn't enough and I do need additional weight, what is the best way to add it?
As I'm sure you can tell from my questions, I'm new to this and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
