Question How do you secure a Dive Rite QB Weight Pocket mounted vertically?

[Doby45]

Here's what I say to my buddy about "releasing" my weights: "Hey, buddy, here's the deal. There will NEVER be an occasion when I will want you, myself, or anyone else to dump my weights. I have no interest in being made artificially positively buoyant at depth and risking an uncontrolled ascent that may cause DCS or other problems. I have placed the correct amount of weight in the proper locations on my rig to optimize my trim and buoyancy, and I prefer to keep it that way. Please do not ever attempt to remove any weight from me when we are underwater, and I will provide you this same courtesy because I value your life as much as my own. Thanks."

I am with you, don't touch my rig, unless you are cutting it off. Thanks and drive through.

Any chance this information is still available?

BTW,

I I custom designed how I attach my pockets to my harness so that my shoulder straps are adjustable and the pockets remain in place...the reason why I have a metal tri-glide and D-rings outboard of the pocket is because I have the D-ring ring captured by the tri-glide mounted on the same system so it does not move either when the shoulder straps are adjusted. The other D-ring is a half-height ring that the waist strap goes through (not depicted) to keep the webbing the pocket is mounted on from flopping away when my backplate is worn.

I made a post about this about a year ago or so. DM me for more info if interested.

I am still alive, so I guess the info is still available.

What would you like to know?
