I hope this is the correct forum to post his weighty problem.
I did my Padi open water Certification this week. there were two of us heavyweights on the course. ( we both weigh 94 kilograms) the instructor calculated that the other guy needed 5 weights, and that i needed 9 weights, there was only room on the belt for 8 plus one in the bcd pocket. this made the belt ridiculously heavy and although I managed it i had great difficulty putting it on and taking it off at the surface. (one of the course requisites) I also battled to bend over and put on my fins on the boat. i am also suffering from pain in my hip from this very heavy weight belt. I know i should loose weight but isnt there an easier way? if anything scares my off scuba it will be that very heavy weight belt.
