A Weighty Question. . .
Hi to All!
In my short dive career of 29 dives, I have settled on 12 pounds of weight in salt water as my ideal amount. These dives have all been made using 80 cf steel tanks. I am leaving for Little Cayman on Saturday for a week of diving. From looking over the resorts web site, it looks like we might be using aluminum tanks. I understand that aluminum tanks start out with negative bouyancy but end up with positive bouyancy at the end of the dive. My question is, how much additional weight will I need to compensate for this additional buoyancy at the end of the dive? I don't want to have to struggle to stay at 15 feet for my safety stop.
Thanks in advance!
