Question

Answer 1

You need enough weight to help you sink, but not so much that you can't tread water at the surface.

If you are just diving in a swimsuit alone, then you'll probably only need 2 or 3 lbs.

If you are wearing a wet suit, it will depend on the the thickness of the wetsuit.  Thicker suits will require more weight.  

The best thing to do is take enough weight, start with an amount, try it out, add or subtract from there.
