Quiz - Skills & Environment - Lifting Device

[Pedro Burrito]

From the Skills & Environment Section of the PADI Dive Theory Exam:

a. 8-11 kg / 16-22 lbs

I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.

Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.

Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.

Years age while visiting a wreck site I picked up a small cannon ball that was probably 10lbs or so. There were many at this site so picking them up to look at them was not a big deal. It was bit of struggle but I managed to hold it out like it weighed little then got my wife's attention. When I handed it to her, her expression was pretty funny when she realized how much it weighed. Meanwhile I exhaled heavily lest I be the one shot into the air.
