Tell you where I got certified and by whom?
Are you mad?
They are little bags of lead that cost about 2 dollars a pound.
I wear 10 lbs with a 7 mil suit and a hooded vest.
Thats 20 dollars excluding the pouches that I get for maybe 10 dollars each.
Thats 40 dollars total.
Are you seriously advocating *NOT* ditching weight in order to help get positive in a life and death situation?
Please tell me who certified you and when.
What you're advocating is ridiculous and extremely dangerous.
You're going to have to explain this in more detail I'm afraid.
BTW, for what its worth, I've been in the water in Southern California for far, far longer than you, my friend.
See you soon
