Hi,
I'm new to spearfishing and freediving in general. I have most of my equipment sorted out for my first trip but need some advice for the last few loose ends. I will be hunting from shore mostly in the Central to South Florida area in saltwater and will occasionally hunt in the Florida Keys. The water temps are quite warm here so for my standard suit, I'm planning on getting the 1.5mm OMER Dahlak Mimetic. I weigh appx 170lbs. How much weight should I start with to be on the safe side? I also will use my 3mm suit when the temperature drops a little but I wanted to get an idea how much someone around my size would wear with 1.5mm and also with a 3mm respectively?
Thanks!!
