Subject: weights
I need a bit of help on the weight system since i have upgrade from 5mm
wet suit + 5mm vest to
a DUI TLS350. Up to know i was using a home made Vweight ( 5kg ).
My rig� consist of twin steel manifold 15Ltr 232 bar ( 16 kilos each ) ,
7Ltr steel Oxygen stage Tank
and Metal Hard Plate. ( Can you believe that i still need weight !! and
im supposed to be fit ).

Diving Dry� i found out that i needed 3 kg more. ( 5kg to be precise but
i used� ( 1kg on each ankle weight )).
So what should i do ?

1) Melt another couple of Car batteries and make a new 8 Kg V weight (
if anyone interesting how
���� to create his own v weights is so easy drop me a line )

2) Add Drop weights on my harness so i can drop at least half of my lead
at emergency ?
���� ( im not quite sure if i will ever need to do this )

3) Try to spread the weight by adding another Kg on each ankle weight
and another Kg on the Vweight

And something else,� at 16c iam a bit cold with a thinsulate tshirt and
100g Thinsulate undergarments so
should i add another kg on my lead so i can pump a bit more air in my
suit or just wear more ?
