Hi there,
I just bought a DSS BP&W setup (SS plate) and put it together today. Yay! But, I need to decide what to do about weights. I own a variety of sizes of soft weights and would prefer to use those rather than buy hard weights.
I'm debating between a weight belt that has pouches for soft weights versus pockets for the weights that can be put on the harness directly. I do have 2 zippered trim pouches that will hold a couple lbs. each to put on the cam band that I removed from my old BCD.
I dive in SoCal in a thick wetsuit and hood, gloves, etc. Generally I've been needing about 24 lbs. of lead with my BCD and an AL80. So, with the new SS plate, I will need less, just not sure how much less yet.
I was considering these Dive Rite pockets http://www.diverite.com/products/catalog/pockets/ac3216
Or maybe this belt by XS Scuba that has velcro, or this one that is zippered.
Thanks,
