x-scooter fresh water weighting

rbrt · July 26th, 2006, 09:10 PM

Hi!

I'm off on a trip in the baltic sea this weekend but forgot my notes on how to weight my x-scooter. Does anyone have an idea how to do that in baltic sea environments. If anyone knows the weighting for fresh water that is a second best.

Thanks
Robert

Thanks! You guessed right about the Standard body. Forgot to write that. My scooter is salt water weighted right now. I need the fresh water weighting or even better, Baltic sea weighting.

Standard body fresh water front 450 g, rear 150 g

Let me display my ignorance, is the Baltic less salty than most oceans?

Thanks again! Yes, it is less salty, it's brackish. It consits of less than 1% salt, i.e. 1 g salt per deciliter.

Hi,

The salinity of the Baltic Sea varies from 25 PSU (Practical Salinity Units) (25 ‰) in Skagerrak to 5-3 PSU (5-3‰) in the Northeastern Parts (Gulf of Bothnia). The decrease of salinity is not linear. So there's a difference whether you dive in Denmark or Finland.
