Years ago when I used to free dive for abalone I would wear 35+ pounds of lead to get to the depths required (25-35 feet). A 7 mil wetsuit acts like an awesome buoyancy device. Takes little effort to rise to the surface. Still highly buoyant nekked in warm water, too. wonder why some sink and some float?
