Question Do you ever practice dropping weights and handling the unexpected ascent?

Are you guys talking about what the trainees appear to be doing here at 4:30?


They look like they are dropping everything but the BC, and then heading up. Then they go back down and redon it all.

They can. Takes just a few minutes. You need to remove the lower band, and unhook the Velcro tabs that are secured to the slot just above the lower band. Then flip the trim pockets over to install on the upper band. The Velcro tabs will now secure to the slot just below the upper band.

Thanks. Yesterday's dives had me thinking about this, and I was tail heavy once I started thinking about it. Overnight, I also thought about what it means in cold water. I use heavier weight in the ditchable pockets and a belt. Top heavy shouldn't be an issue. The tank band pockets will get repositioned. Thanks for all the advice. It makes a difference to a relative rookie like me.
