About Buoyancy Calc

Quickly find out the suggested weight you should add when scuba diving in different environments. Based on PADI's Peak Performance Buoyancy basic weighting guideline*. Enter your weight in pounds or kilograms, and additionally set the type of water, tank, and exposure suit to dial in a suggested amount of weight to help keep you neutrally buoyant.

*Note that this app and the developer are not officially a representative of PADI. This app will give the user a good estimate of the weight needed for the environment selected, but there are always adjustments needed to achieve peak performance, based on gender, physique, exposure suit age, accessories, etc.

A little off

The app recommends 28 pounds based off of my standard setup but I dive with 24. Still though I would say this seems to give a decent estimate.

no money take the L lolol

Could be better but good

Of course I see everything that says it over weighs, this is just a suggestion that I would like. The ability to not include the tank in the calculations for free diving because 7mm suits can be quite buoyant and may they need some weighing down, it may also be helpful for snorkeling

EB Review

Possibly Good

This app is super simple to use, very intuitive. It does however not match what I use (or others I checked with), weight wise. Also, it appears to not correctly convert between pounds and kg.

Doesn’t work anymore

Used this for multi-mode buoyancy calculations as a ball-park estimation, mostly for vacation when diving in different configurations. Worked well for that application, but App doesn’t work anymore. Deleting.
