Guess my weight!
Just got a new 2mm XL shorty (bare)

I will be taking it in the pool next week for the first time.

Being that I am really lazy at heart, and I am trying to guess how much weight to add to my belt to compensate for the suit instead of the 6 lbs I use with my bathing suit.

My guess would be another 4-6 lbs

Just for fun any thoughts? See how close we can come lol

hmmm 4-6 sounds heavy..depending on your body composition...which I am going to say for you is all bulging muscles!! I only wear 12-14 for a 3mil full in salt water...I am going to guess 2-4 lbs.

I would guess 3-4lbs myself - I use 8lbs in the pool, and go to 12 for a shorty.

They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport".
Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage.
Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure.
