Another WeightingQuestion!!!

Bird!

We work on a vague rule of thumb, and, taking into consideration our heavy steel 12l cylinders - for a 5mm wetsuit, if you are:

size small = 2kg
size medium = 4kg
size large = 6kg yadda yadda which seems to work nicely from a season's worth of observation.

On a first dive, for any of our divers, I take an extra couple of kilo's and dive heavy, and then do a weight check with them at the end of the dive on 50 bar.

Usually we aren't far out give or take a kilo

Hmm, would I recognise Chas and Mrs Dragon with moustaches?

"Hola, quiero mas plomo por favor." that should do you for Spanish speakers I think.

Something to do with "...... my plums, please" ?

Conseguiré mi capa - that probably doesn't mean what I hoped

Why don't you try half the weight, ie 5kg and fine tune from there?

I've now bought an Oceanic 5mm long semi-dry.

Your drysuit is a membrane and I assume the 10Kgs is with the Weezle Extreme+.

I'd start with 8kgs and take it from there - I doubt you'll find a huge difference between the two suits.

Just prep'd tea (Bang Bang Chicken ) and a delicate bottle of Merlot has already been opened

We were going to find out what the marquee is for in the village square, but apparently it is for the local government elections/rally's so we are going to give it a miss - currupt? our politicians?
