measuring body fat is a dark art... i used to visit this site: johnstonefitness.com when i was losing weight. there are bodyfat estimate threads where peeps post pics and members gives their estimates. members on their forum generally know what they're talking about.

if you're near SFSU, you can try going to the kinesiology department. i'm pretty sure there's some students there that can do it. maybe even for free

Just get to where you can see your abs; that's about 8% for most males.

I have this at home.

It uses electronic impedence and may not be quite as accurate as underwater weighing, but it is generally internally consistent if you use it at the same time of day each day and you aren't either dehydrated or overhydrated when using it. (It also measures hydration level, so you can see whether a variation in your body fat measurement occurs at the same time as a variation in hydration level.) I got my body fat measured one time using the underwater method, and my results were almost identical to the result I'd gotten just a few hours earlier on my home monitor. You can read more about these scales here: http://www.tanita.com/BodyCompositionM.shtml.

I also second the Tanita scales. They are useful for keeping track of a daily or weekly baseline, and the 1 time I had the measurement done with calipers they gave me a range of 12-14 (a while ago :) ) when the scale had been telling me 13% all along.
