so I'm going to be doing a dozen or so dives this December in CZM. My goal is always to pick something to work on during these trips. This time, I want to shed weight. I use 16 lbs broken down into 4 4lbs weights two each in my quick release pouches.
My goal is to get down to 12 with no other changes to my diving profile. New BC with about 5 dives on it......
Question. I've not used my rear trim pouches.....I've always felt in an emergency, I'd rather not have to reach back trying to remove the one or two pounds of weight. Am I being to conservative here?
Should I go with 5 pounds X two in the QR and 1 to 2 pounds in the rears? I realize I have to try various configurations and these dives will afford me this option.
This will be a buoyancy and trim trip
