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?

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.

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
