This is one of those questions that I think I know the answer, and may sound like a muppet even posing it, but here goes:
Nomad LTZ, Bare XCD2, Thermal fusion undies, lp85's, 10lb in the spine pockets, 6lb in shoulder pouches, fresh water shore dive.
At the beginning of the dive, empty the suit, close the valve, empty the BC, exhale and sink..VERY slowly. I was wondering if I even had enough weight. Felt I might have had too much weight at 30 or 40ft. Trim sux, foot heavy even when giving the rig a yank to move things up.
That aside, once I brought the tanks down to about 700lb, I had plenty of weight to hold at 15, even tried at 8ft, no problem, lots of weight. HMMM, how the hell can you be under weight, (almost) with full tanks and probably slightly over weight when empty?
