Looking for "P" weights

[moose_grunt]

I think I've got some pictures around somewhere. Probably the most important hints are don't use foam-type clay (it melts, and you get molten lead all over), and don't touch it until well after you think it's cooled (it isn't, and it hurts).

I think a relevant point has been glossed over here. Depending on thickness of the OPs suit, it could take some ballast to sink a 7mil fathom FJ the first 20'. When that suit compresses, you now have to pump up that BC to stay neutral if you can't ditch that weight.

"How too" discussions of making a custom V channel weights is interesting, but I don't think solves the issue at hand.

Hi

maybe you can ask James Draker of Scubafroce USA. These weights are really popular here in Germany/ Europe.

Perhaps it?s easy for them to ship some to the USA with a there general shipment.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've certainly noticed that this technology seems to be very popular in Europe and the design is perfect.

Ever considered using drop weights? It is old school but works very well, and will get you past the point when the wet suit will compress.

Hey there! I followed your suggestion today. We dove Little River Spring for the first time today and I took the extra weight off my plate and used a drop weight ... I was flying!!! I found neutral buoyancy and it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier to maneuver in the water column. Thanks for the suggestion!!!
