SCUBA Weight Question

OK here it is. I am gearing up for the Islander trip. Have all my SCUBA gear serviced and ready to go. The problem is that I forgot how much weight I usually SCUBA with.
I wear 29 lbs when I freedive.
I will be wearing the same 7mm farmer john wetsuit. My BC, tank, and regulator combined weigh 61.5 lbs ( steel 95 OUCH!! ).
How much weight will I need when I SCUBA??
I will not have time to get in the water before the trip to figure it out so any help will be appreciated.

my guess..... 36 lbs.

Tote,

Do you know the buoyancy of your additional scuba gear? I haven't been on scuba in awhile but the gear I was last using was almost neutral so I only needed to add like 3 additional pounds to go from free to scuba diving. The biggest offset of weight is going to be the wetsuit and you are already dialed in on that. If your not sure I'd bring ten extra pounds of weight to be safe; if you have to go over that it should not be by much more and someone should be able to loan you the extra weight or bring you back a couple of rocks to stuff in your pockets.

First chance get in and test it out and get weighted properly. I have found over the years as I get more comfortable in the water that I have been diving with too much weight. I do like to be a little heavy freediving but on scuba over or under weighted just isn't much fun.

Yeah bring 10lbs.  Remember you get less buoyant as you deplete your tank too, it sucks to come up with a fish then be unable to get back down again.  Last time I put about 8lbs into my BCD pockets and then I could go between freediving and scuba without mucking with the belt.
