Thermoclines are common in many…
Ask a diver how much weight they use and you might hear a very confident answer. “Four kilos.” “Six kilos.” “I always use three.” The number is useful, but it is only part of the answer.

Many divers remember their first dive very clearly. Everything feels new. You focus on breathing, your equipment, your instructor, and the ocean around you all at the same time. But something interesting happens after a few dives. Without realizing it, many divers begin to feel more comfortable underwater. Breathing becomes calmer. Movements become smoother. The…
