Re: lead weight question
I am sure that the surface marker (which attaches to the dump-valve) didn't help, but it is what it is.

Yes, the aluminum backplate does weight a couple pounds, but the SeaQuest BC, or pretty much any jack-style BC, does initself, remain quite positively buoyant. The backplate rigs are just so streamlined that there is not a lot of drag in the water.

But anyway, back to the initial question, how much weight you need to submerge does in fact depend on what style of BC you choose to use.
