a question of weight

[mcdiver]

All things being equal, the amount of weight you need to "get down" is a direct corolation to the number of dives you have, when first learning to dive. You would be amazed at the amount of air you hold in your lungs, without even trying or thinking about it.

I believe that when I first started diving, I was probably carrying about 30 plus pounds of weight (I weight about 195). After just one year of diving, I was down to the lower twenties for weight required, now after diving for about 10 years, I now carry 12 pounds of weight. You would be surprised at the weight reduction once you become more relaxed in the water.
