How to calculate the correct weight for scuba diving in the sea?

#divegue #gueheroes #balancedrig #wolframalpha #doktorben After my video about the balanced rig (and how to be perfectly weighted to get a gue fundamentals tech pass ;) ) a couple of weeks ago, I got some comments about the adjustments of weights when switching from seawater to fresh water and vice versa. In this short Two Minute Tuesday video, I share with you my approach using Wolfram Alpha to calculate the additional weight you have to use in saltwater. This is especially useful if you are perfectly weighted in fresh water and want to go for a GUE Fundamentals Class (or any other class) in the sea and would like to have a rough idea about the weights you gonna use. As I mentioned in the video, Wolfram Alpha knows the salinity of many seas an oceans, so for example you could use an equation like this: (water density (salinity of Baltic Sea) - water density (salinity of 0.05%))*114 liter (Assuming your displacement is 114 Liter and the salinity of freshwater was 0.9% and you dive in the Baltic Sea....adjust this to your needs....you could even calculate how much weight you would need if you go from diving in Ethanol to diving in Mercury or crazy stuff like ;) ) For course and business inquiries: ben@gue.com Global Underwater Explorers Jarrod Jablonski
