With 7.5mm of neoprene & only 16lb of lead, you are in little danger of permanant residence in Davey Jones' locker. Besides, the weight belt is way cheaper than the BC if you ever have to make a choice. (Wait, did that make sense?)
If u can dive at home, regardless the lackluster conditions, you stay primed for anything! I constantly see locals (who refuse to dive in cold water) return & return for refreshers every time they have a vacation to the tropics. Then there are those who "just dive it" & are more than ready for...
