Ok, got a new dry suit Undies they are a BARE thinsulate 200g, I really like it very comfy under my suit and actually not so heavy that when its hot out that I am dying right away. Anyhow, so did a really good weight check with a few of my different set ups and man it seems to need mucho lead to achieve neutral buoyancy with an empty wing and nearly empty suit.
Just curious what others need for weighting. (I am 6' 1" about 235 and have some buoyancy lol but not a ton.)
So I had my double AL 80s down to 200 psi wing empty and very little air in my suit just enough to kill the squeeze. I have a DUI TLS350 the Bare 200g undies and a medium weight base layer.
I found that in the pool to descend to 9ft and hold a good stable stop I ended up with the following, which puts me about at about 40lbs of negative items give or take. Again not questioning the weighting cause it is what it is and feel its not excessive, I couldn't even submerge until I started to add extra weight and ended up with the 10lbs outside of the v weight, plate, light and regs.
10lb V weight
6lb plate
5lb canister light
Regs are HOG about 5-7lbs or so for the set up
and needed to add 10lbs of lead
Again t his is in a pool fresh water.
P.S. funny thing is with a single tank set up using a steel LP85 at about 800psi same clothing needed about 30lbs total.
