so Heres the thing.....

scenario 1.
I wear a 1mm wet suit and and a three kgs weight which gives me neutral bouyancy at 10m.

scenario 2.
I wear a 7mm suit with 7.5 kgs of weight which gives me neutral bouyancy at 10m.

In both cases I dive down to 25m , Will the heavier weighted scenario (number 2) be harder for me to propell back to the surface than that of scenario 1

any ideas would be welcome,
Thanks guys.
 
way harder. Almost 2 kilo difference.

your suit will compress as depth increases, while you weights won't, so 7.5kg will be harder to carry way up until you reach again the neutral buoyancy depth
