Sounds great, Scottie! Glad you had fun, and pleased that there is loads of stuff for us to see when we come up in March!
30lbs is about 14kgs, and I use 12kgs in fresh water with a 12l, drysuit and pony. It all depends on alot of factors so I wouldn't personally worry about how much you carry, as long as you are happy with your bouyancy.
When I went for my drysuit orientation the instructor scoffed when I told him how much weight I wore and suggested I tried less - he soon ended up agreeing with me though. I float at about chin level with empty lungs in a swimming cossie. Add kit to me and I float like a rubber duck! Some people just do, all a function of size and make-up/weight. |
