Refresher dive; test dive to get buoyancy control wearing new 3mm wetsuit with 2.5 hooded vest and gloves, check comfort level with colder water temperature. Comfort level was good to slightly chilled at depth. Started with 16 lbs (5/5 and 3/3), trimmed under water down to 6 lbs (3/3 and 3/3). It took about 10 minutes to get comfortable, and my air consumption was high at first entry.
Swam to rock crusher --> boat --> bus, checked buoyancy and adjusted weight accordingly. Swam to underwater platform and back to bus, and back to shore.
Workload moderate due to initial orientation and improper weight. As dive continued and buoyancy improved with weight checks, workload decreased.
