What is a good quick practical way to make sure I am perfectly weighted? I've struggled a bit with this particularly because we sometimes rent BCs or wetsuits on vacation. I've done the bob in the ocean level with eyes/top of head, and found it lacking. Calculators don't work because I don't have access to inherent buoyancy specs for rental gear. I try to be within 1 lbs over weighted because it's easier to mitigate than being slightly under weighted in an emergency.
In theory I aim to be neutrally buoyant with 0.00 psi in the tank at 15-20 ft, BC empty. In practice it's kind of difficult to achieve because, up to this point, I always end dives with at least 500 psi, usually closer to 1,000 psi. What is the typical inherent buoyancy of an AL80 at 0.00 psi and 1,000 psi?
