From easttngirl33: is it mandatory to do a weight check at the beginning of the dive so i can figure this out before taking off on the boat?



Depends on the type of dive. If it’s a training dive for newer divers, they may do this. If it’s for advanced training or pleasure, they won’t require a weight check. But don’t feel bad if you have to hold the boat up for 5 mins while you do a weight check. And as you start your dive, if you feel you need more weight, holler to the divemaster/instructor to help you out. They should be able to bring you a couple extra pounds so you don’t need to get back out of the water.
