Kareem, it depends entirely on how deep you are doing and what you are doing. Also depends on your body type (fat or lean, muscle or not) and how big your lungs are, and if you "pack" air in.

In general a rash guard is the same as no suit, because it imparts no floatability, and 2lb sounds fine. In a pool with just speedos I use about 2kg for mucking around, more for serious distance, and I don''t pack.

There are some great training courses coming up in Dubai soon, contact Island_Sands here on DB. It will be the best money you ever spend!
