hello all ,
ive been diving since last spring and here it is febuary 1 ,
ive been reading on allot of forums and ive landed here .
ive noticed that yes there are allot of people that dont need very mutch weight to help there dive and become negative boyant , but there are thoes of US who for some odd strange reason need a unreal amount of weight , ive got a 7.5 mm bare wetsuit and it floats me like a cork , ive got a 50 lb weight belt and 4 to 8 lbs of lead in the bc depending on the salinity of the water ive seen trying to dive head first and my feet out of the water with less weight .
ive put in a couple dives to 65 feet or so but nothing mutch deeper than that looking foreward to making a deeper dive this spring when the cold atlantic ocean warms up a wee bit i just wish i was like Badfish and loose more weight .
i suppose my size has some to do with it 5ft10 and 250 lbs .
