Last week there was some debate of how to calculate the weight change from fresh to salt water.
Although several people had the right idea, most of what was proffered was wrong.
So this evening I did the algebra, which should be elementary for anyone that is truly a tech diver, and derived the simple formula for the weight change for constant buoyancy when diving in fluids of differing densities.
