Where to get BF measured?

Title says it all. I am guessing im around 5%, but want to know for sure. Where can i get a hydrostatic bf measuer at? How much are they? Thanks

go to a hospital and get dipped

any local university will do hydro for 40 bucks. i tested at 6.5% last week, though it has a lot to do with how hard you blow out while they weigh you. the guy said he thought i'd be less. you can do an x ray as well for about a benjamin at a hospital that is painless and very accurate. being dunked is kind of weird. calipers are useless, they tell me i am 3% which i know is not possible, so i used to go around saying i was 3% and i got torn apart for that one oh well.

having x ray done next week----is it more accurate than hydro?

well most likely because there is no chance for error, they say they are both about + or - 2%. i would like to have it done and see if there is a difference. the problem with hydro like i said is there are a few factors involved including how much air you blow out and what not. but it is still very accurate. not to comfortable though. if you have 60 extra i'd do the x ray
