I understand that a new wetsuit will be more buoyant than one that has been dived a few times. If I am neutrally buoyant at 24lbs of lead in my brand new 8/7ml on day one, how much lead can I expect to shed when it is "broken in" and how many dives should it take for me to notice a difference? Thanks for your input.
