The proper way to weight yourself is, with full gear, (BC, tank and all) is to weight your self so that with no air in your BC and a lung full of air you should float at eye level and when you exhale you should sink. You will become more boyant as the air is used from the tank. Depending on your tank AL or Steel AL tanks are posative boyant when empty, STEEL tanks tend to stay a few pounds negitively boyant when empty. But you should be within a couple of pounds of perfect, and you can fine tune your weight over a few dives.


I hope this helped, Dick
