Amount of weight is difficult to calculate in advance, many factors influence that: body size/shape, lung capacity, wetsuit thickness and type, salinity of the water etc.
I have been using 7,3 kg (neutral at 18m) in the red sea (very saline), wearing a 5 mm suit. Last weekend I used 4,5 kg in a lake, and still being less bouyant!! (neutral at 12m)
One question:
where can you buy small lead weights, lets say, 0.5 - 1 lb ?
