DevonDiver
N/A
One or more of the following reasons:
1) That's the amount of weight necessary, according to the exposure protection and equipment they are using.
2) They were over-weighted in training (easier for the instructor) and haven't effectively revised their weighting since then.
3) They don't effectively revise their weighting when changing their equipment (i.e. cold water diver on a warm water vacation).
4) They have difficulty descending because of incorrect technique, thus assume that wearing more weight is the solution.
