i've only ever really dived in fresh water, and i may be going away in a couple of weeks to dive in the sea. but i'm not sure about my weighting....
the water will be around 13-14oC. in that sort of temperature i will probably wear a 5mm top and probably 3mm bottoms (maybe 5mm). wearing that in fresh water i would wear a 0.75kg or 1.0kg neckweight depending on the bottoms. i'm guessing about 1.5kg-2kg?? i'll be taking a single neckweight with me, so i want to make sure i take the right amount of weight.
how much should i wear to achieve the same sort of buoyancy in salt water? do you add the same amount of weight regardless of your suit thickness?
