I am looking for ideas :)

I want to remove my integrated weight pockets and put the weight on a belt (about 15 pounds).
(I had one pocket slip out a couple of times, last time was yesterday so I said "enough". Thank god it was at the beginning of the dive)

Is there a way to put some of that weight in/around/integrate to my bcd so that the weight is spread out.
Maybe split half on the belt and half around/inside (somehow) the BCD setup?

I am using a SeacSub Mito BCD (see pics).

I need at least 7 kg (about 15.5 pounds) of weight because of the extra lift from the 7mm semi dry.

Any thoughts or ideas will be appreciated!!

Chuck 2x2kg weights in the pockets,with another 3 on a belt,or even go 5 on the belt 2 in the BCD? Not certain what else you may or may not be using in the pockets
( there is no rule that says all your weight needs to be ditchable, if you can ditch enough to go up in an emergency it's 100% )

Other option is adding some tankweights and belt. I'd rather try to work out why the integrated pockets are slipping
