Weights Check – Dive Weighting

Weights Check helps you calculate buoyancy for your equipment and keep track of your weights and configurations. Enter your gear once, build a configuration from it, and see how it balances at the 3 m stop and at depth. Record your weight checks and the calculator adjusts to what your own rig did. EQUIPMENT LIBRARY Cylinders, suits, wings, backplates, regulators, lights and stages go in once, across seven categories, with figures from a maintained, sourced reference table. Every configuration you build picks from this library, so each new one takes less time than the last. CONFIGURATIONS Build a configuration for each way you dive, with its lead and where the lead sits. Copy one and change one thing: the suit, fresh or salt water, single to doubles or sidemount, a stage added, the lead moved from belt to plate. Everything recalculates, and a mounting brings the hardware it needs with it. On first launch, three questions build a sample configuration to start from. BUOYANCY CALCULATOR Every configuration opens on its balance. At the 3 m stop with 50 bar in every cylinder, one signed figure on a bar from sinks to floats shows how the rig sits, with the range of the estimate. At depth, it shows what it would take to swim up if the wing failed, and whether the wing you fitted has the lift. Under the balance is the same dive item by item: what each piece of equipment is worth at the stop and at depth, the gas in the back cylinders and in every stage, the totals with and without your lead, and one line on what to change. WEIGHT CHECKS Record a check with the lead you finished on, at 3 m with 50 bar in every cylinder, and the calculator adjusts: the range narrows around what your rig actually did. Until then, it estimates your suit from published material figures and your body from your weight, height and sex, and labels the result as an estimate. A tag on every configuration says what its figures stand on: your own check and its date, a check from another rig, or a plan. Every check is kept, newest first, with what you entered. ALSO IN THE APP • Where the lead sits and how much of it is ditchable • A warning above a load you set for yourself • Metric and imperial, switched across the app • A configuration you dived but have not recorded waits at the top of the library • Deleted gear waits in Settings until you clear it • Works offline and syncs through your own iCloud to your other devices and the Diver.Today apps Use the figures to plan your weighting, then finish with your own weight check in the water. Weights Check keeps it and calculates from it.
