Gross bouyancy checks should be done at the beginning, but fine tuning should be done at the end of the dive with near empty tanks. Record the weight needed for each gear configuation and environment you dive in. Your body fat changes and thus your personal bouyancy changes daily. Make allowances (even if they are SWAGs) as you progress... Try NOT to overweight too severely... I hate it as I do classes that more and more weight seems to come off of the students AND INTO MY WEIGHT POCKETS!!! Sure am glad I got a 100# lift bladder... (grin)
