thought I'd mention a 'hiccup' i had with my weight pockets recently. I had dialed in my weight perfectly for my usual florida diving with an HP100 tank. I went back to turks and caicos a couple weeks ago and figured I'd add back my usual 6lbs for AL80 diving. I didn't have any other gear like flashlight, smb and reel, dive knife, lobster loop etc. I forgot that stuff adds up! Plus I think I've gained a few pounds of body fat (sigh).
Anyway, I found myself too positive after diving off the boat. I told the guy on the boat to toss me a 4 pounder thinking I could just put into one of my quick release weight pockets. Well, you can pull the pockets out in the water, but you can't put them back in because of how far back they are. And of course with no actual pockets, I had to get back on the boat to fix everything. I was pretty embarrassed.
