    Looking for any tips and tricks out there for achieving the correct weighting for diving. I know it is usually a case of take some weight - do bouyancy check with near empty cylinder etc...

    But as a scientist I would like a more scientific method - or formula - if one even exists...

    Just musing....

    I used my DUI weight and trim today and my NEW apeks reg mmmm lovely :-)

    Cheers Nordic - beer for you on the next visit!

    It would be nice if there was some formula, but there isn't! As fat floats and muscle sinks it depends on your own ratio of each. This means that two people of the same height and weight and scuba kite could be wearing different weights. For example one guy could be a heavy body builder and another could be the same weight but be classed obease. As a dry suit wearer the issue is complicated further by they type of underlay you use and if this changes from dive to dive.
