Aluminum Scuba
Scuba diving weight question?
So I usually use 14 lbs of lead using an aluminum 80cf tank to get down. But I bought a faber blue steel 100 and of course its heavier then the aluminum. I know Its kind of trial and error to get my weights right but can anyone ball park it? I'm guessing try 10 lbs of lead and see what happens? Not really sure can anyone help thanks.
I don't entirely agree with Matthew. Although you do need enough weight to be able to submerge, more isn't better. The problem with being over-weighted is that you have to add more air to your BCD to be neutrally buoyant at depth. That air expands as you ascend, making it more difficult to maintain neutral buoyancy. It also wastes air. You should use the minimum amount of weight it takes to keep you down. Since steel tanks don't grow more buoyant at lower pressure as aluminum tanks do, you probably will need less weight than you used before.
