RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] How much drop weight?

Pierre,

I think if it were a dry sub, the answer would be "as much as possible".
But in an ambient sub, dropping too much weight would actually be
dangerous. So I'd say "as much as possible, so long as you can drop it
in small increments". Very precise of me, hehe.

Rgds,

Alec

Hi all!

I have question.

My sub weight now 350 pounds. It will have to weight about 1200 pounds.
So I 
have to had 850 pounds of weight to get it under water.

How much of that 850 pounds should I use as drop weight? Remember, My
sub is 
a dry-ambient design to use at max 30 feet...

Thank you!

Pierre Poulin
