--------------3BB0AE1A3E436E6E46331BA5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Tom, With all this discussion of buoyancy at 200fsw, was wondering what differences would occur at 130fsw or less? Am wearing a full 6.5mm wetsuit, hood, gloves, etc with Faber 95 doubles, Diverite isolator manifold, two Zeagle/Apeks Tech50D regs, and an AUL backplate and wing (55lbs lift I think). In fresh water am wearing 8 lbs additional weight on belt. Am definitely positive at the surface with almost empty tanks and wing fully deflated. The question will be when I hit the saltwater and need to add additional weight when diving to 100-130 fsw. Is there a way to be sure ahead of time that I'll be safe at that depth with my current tank/suit setup? Diving dry is a future goal at present as budget is totally max'd! I do carry a SubSalve 100lb bag as an emergency lift if wing malfunctions, etc. Tech Divers: Please forgive my ignorance. I'm here..and only trying to learn...and survive!
