Going Scuba diving today in British Columbia, It's been about 10 years since I've done a cold water dive, when I used to dive here I used a dry Suit... Since I'm renting gear and going with a newer diver we are just going to use wet suits. I am 195lb male how much weight would be a best guess I was thinking 35lbs but I'm unsure...
Thanks for input!
In B.C. you're likely diving a 7mm double. 35 pounds is a bit much. I'd start at 24 and work your way up in increments of two pounds I bet you'll need about 28 until you float at eyeball level with the air out of your BC but you're better to go light than heavy since this is a fist trip out in awhile for you.
Your body weight means nothing. Your body type does. No fat and all muscle and bone requires less lead. Big chubby fella and you actually need a little more lead since generally your buoyancy is more for the same body mass.
36 pounds plus 3 pounds in ankle weights are what I use for my dry suit, not wet suit so you see why you'd be over weighted.

I live in the MD/DC area and i wanted to know what is a good place to buy swimwear around that area. I want something not to expensive but different & trendy.
victoria's secret has, hands down, the BEST swimwear in my opinion 
and most of the time they're having sales so you can get a super cute,
top quality, bathing suit for less than $40.
definitely, check it out =D

For a name like "academicjoq" (first person who answered) shouldn't you know what a rash guard is?
It is like a wet suit but it's thinner and covers only the torso. Protects from rashes from sun, water abrasion, etc.
Big 5 has rash guards (usually by Body Glove)...Ohana Surf (off Steven's Creek) has a few rash guards as well....and check Sports Authority. I just ordered one Online from www.dogfunk.com. You can also try www.valsurf.com or www.beckersurf.com.
