Seahunt, they don't even teach proper weighting technique these days. Most instructors typically tell their students to fiqure 10% of their body weight then add anywhere from 4-10 pounds (depending on the istructor)after that. If the student can stay planted on the bottom then they are content.
Most diver are very overweighted in my experience.
