How the calculation works
Starting ballast combines water/body percentage with exposure-suit, cylinder and known-equipment buoyancy adjustments.
What to verify
Perform an in-water buoyancy check with a trained professional; do not treat the estimate as a substitute for instruction.
How accurate is this calculator?
It is a transparent planning calculation based on the entered values and stated assumptions. Verify inputs and obtain professional or supplier confirmation where the decision is consequential.
Does it use U.S. defaults?
Yes. U.S. units, terminology, pricing conventions and rules are the primary defaults where location matters.
Is data sent to a server?
No. The calculation runs locally in the browser and does not send entered values to a remote calculation service.
