Gavin is on a distinguished road

Warm water diving - how do you do it?

Right, did I mention I'm off to Sharm on Thursday?

If I'm diving in a 5mm wetsuit with a 12l and ali backplate (mmmm black ali backplate :drool what sort of weight will I need?

Enough to stay neutral at 3m at the end of the dive with only 35bar in the cylinder.

Seriously, that's the only way to do it properly.

Gavin,

If it helps you at all, I used 2Kg in the Med last time with the same config.

Only 2kg!!! You must be taking a lot of iron tablets

EDIT Sharm tends to have Ali 80s ... they just call them 12l tanks
