the most i have ever kicked up was 45lb. it was hard to stay on the surface with it and no it was not mine i found it free diving for abs. decided that i needed a new weight belt to go with the 200lb. of led in the garage that just seems to keep growing. if you ever want to know how much led you can swim up just get your instructor sert and you will get plenty of practice toting belt back up to the surface.


I consider myself pretty average, and I am often finding lost weightbelts and brringing them up to the boat. I too have a growing mound of lead! But everything from the ocean's free....that's what I was told a very long time ago......by a man named Mel Fischer. But back to the subject... my suggestion to anyone who considers themself not to be in the best of shape, should not consider dragging "dead" lead to the surface.:no :wink:
