When I dive the Abacos my buoyancy is different than when I dive Jupiter.

Yes of course, and it’s not about the saline content and the specific gravity of the water, it’s more about what I ate, as it does affect my buoyancy a little. It’s not major, but I am about reducing my weight as much as possible.

I do a weight check any time something changes, such as salt or fresh, exposure suit etc. Nothing more worse than entering the water and not be able to descend. Dont want to be to heavy either. You use more gas when you're too heavy.
