Shopper What's the general rule of thumb for figuring out how much weight you need?
LeisurePro S A very rough guide is to start with a base of 10 percent of your body weight and then add 2-10 additional pounds depending on what kind of suit thickness you are wearing, what kind of water you are diving in (salinity) and what other accessories you might be carrying.
Shopper I clean Boat Bottoms and I use a 3 mil full wetsuit with 3 mil hooded west and 20 lbs weight. I'll get a Henderson 7mil semi-dry hooded full suit. How much weight should I get for that? And what size of them?
LeisurePro S I would imagine you are going to need any where from 5-8 more pounds of weight. If you have the suit already, you can estimate 3 pounds of every one pound of suit. Or you can start from the beginning and, using the rough rule of thumb, take 10% of your body weight and add around 6/7 pounds for the 7mm suit. As far as what size weights to get, you just want to keep balancing in mind, so you can have the same amount of weights on both sides of your hips. Smaller sized weights, if you have the pocket space, also lend themselves to greater flexibility.
Shopper How wide are the openings to thread on a belt? Would they fit on a 3" wide belt?
Shopper What weights would you recommend for plain web belt with plastic buckel - recreational diving
LeisurePro S I would recommend the coated lead weights, they cost a bit more but you don't have to worry about lead exposure because the weights are coated with a protective coating. Here is the link Aqua Black Vinyl Coated Lead Weights
