Subject: RE: "V" Weights
Thanks George. I'm not fat. 5' 9" and weigh 12 stone, with no excess fat 
anywhere.  I have a CF200 suit and dive in the 12C sea water. Before going 
ahead and spending all the money "Doing It Right" because I have a stroke 
configuration at the moment, I want to look ahead and see what my options are 
if I should need more weight. Especially if I'm doing a dive without 
stage/deco tanks and in an emergency have breathed the tanks to near empty. 
With your extensive knowledge of diving cylinders what would be the equivalent 
to the ones you recommend in the UK. I'm not sure they exist as such. Buying 
the TLS350 suit as you seem to use, would require less weight but is not an 
option cost wise for the moment, would it offer as much insulation as the 
CF200 anyway? I understand that the cave water is warmer were you dive, about 
21C I read somewhere. I appreciate your exposures are 10 time that which I 
would reach wreck diving.

Best regards from a stroke trying to get it right.

Lawrence.
