Way to estimate how StIx Floats?

[jeffreyl]

I have the following and just curious if there is a way to estimate how many StIx to put on my arms. Going on a few boat dives in Cancun next month, and want to get close on my first dive.

RX100 MKII
Ikelite Housing
Ultralight tray and handle
UL 5" and 8", 3 clamps
YS-d1 Strobe

I bought one package of the standard StIx floats.

Is there a way to calculate an estimate for this?

Thank you!

Jeff
