Needing some advice, I am 6'5" 315Lbs. I dive a Faber Hp133 Tank and its characteristics are WEIGHT EMPTY: 42.7 lbs. BUOYANCY FULL: - 9.08 lbs. BUOYANCY EMPTY: 1.45 lbs. I did some weight checks today in my pool (saltwater) Using just the Tank and my BC (jacket style) I need no weight and at 500 PSI I float just below eye level with a normal held breath. Now WITHOUT BC or Tank, Using a Farmer john I need 12 lbs to float eye level, and using a long sleeve Shorty it takes 16 lbs to float Eye level, and using the whole suit it took 31 lbs to get to eye level. With the numbers from the tank I could theoretically cut 8 lbs off of all of those numbers when I put my full rig on? For instance if I were to dive the Long sleeve shorty I would be able to dive 7 lbs total?
Thank you for the insight and help!
