    Yeah it was an epic trip, I'm not enjoying being back at work. The lead was a bugger to fly with but it's only $30 for an additional bag which you'll need anyway(hunting pack, rifle hard case & speargun/dive bag).
    You'll want at least 8kg of weight if you're wearing a 5mm wetsuit(can always breath in a little less to decrease buoyancy).

    Just take the weightbelt without the weights, and a couple of those long course woollen tramping socks. I filled mine with rocks and duct taped them to the weight belt, so I still had the quick release feature that duct tape does not come with...
    stingray and Black Rabbit like this.
