Paranoid?
If you didn't post so much it wouldn't seem like I'm following you.
The diver purchased a Pro QD BC it's not a tech BC. It's a very good OW BCD .
Why do we insist on confusing the poor guy. I'm a tech diver too.
I don't like to use just a harness and back plate I have a BCD that's intergrated. I need very little weight and If I use my 3mm suit I need none. The weigh pockets make great place to store stuff. The funny thing is that the definition of TECH diver has changed over the years. Use to be that if you used nitrox you were tech diving now it's a common thing. Use to be if you had a canister light you were TECH but now that's a normal thing. So I think eventualy the only thing that will determine a tech diver is how much money did you spend on you equiptment.
Ha, Ha , Ha ,Ha only kidding. Like everything else in life as things become main stream the extream is pushed futher out.

No need to be sniping at each other.
Let's keep it civil, shall we?

Imagine you wear a 7mm and you get hooked with your BC anywhere (wrecks?) and have to put it of. If all the weight is in the BC, you will have real problems not to get plastered to the ceiling (visibility drops, no air supply) or simply stay on your depth until you fixed your problems.
In most situations you will have time to put your weights in the belt. Then you can easily slip out off the BC and manage your problems.
Anyone heard about a solution to easily push some weight up and down the body during the dive? I think this would stop my problems with sinking legs in the deep or upswimming legs near the surface.
