We've been diving in Monterey (55 degrees) and next week we're heading to the Keys and the Caribbean, where the water temp is about 80. Approximately how much weight should we expect to drop?
I am 6'6", 235, and I have a 20 lb backplate plus 14 lbs with a drysuit (so 34 lbs total). We'll probably wear 3mm shorties there. Emily is 5'2" 125, and wears 22lbs including her backplate with a drysuit. We use AL 80's here and assume we will do the same there.
We'll do a weight check when we arrive, I would like to get an idea of what to start with.
Thanks,
Bill
