Hydrodensitometry Weighing
Where does one go to get Hydrodensitometry (underwater) Weighing?
I've had trouble finding it via email searches. I'd like to get a good idea what my body fat% really is and it sounds like it's perhaps the best method.
...also what is a typical price for having this done?

Its pricey. I know a physiologist that has the equipment. The thing about it is how that you need water then the equipment blah blah blah go DEXA

Is dexa cheaper? Do you have to have a prescription from a doc, or just go?

You might check with any major colleges in your area. They may be able to help you out.

I did a couple searches online for dexa scans and saw the price of $250 a couple times
That's like 3 tanks of gas

Colleges are a great idea...
Do you use the scales that send the electric pulse through your body to measure fat?
I know they can be pretty inaccurate, at least mine seems to be. Just wanted to know what you might have seen with your experience.

My calipers say 9.4%, U.S Navy method says 13.2%. I think my eyeball method tells me somewhere between those 2. My Tanita scale says between 18-21% I don't believe for a second I'm that high
