If you're in a situation dire enough to require you to ditch weights in order to survive, it's hard to see that the potential cost of a couple of weight pockets would be an issue. The fact that it's a concern at all is interesting.
If it was a clear-cut "If I don't drop my weights, I'm going to die" situation, then you're right. Bit if it's a situation that is less obvious, such as you can't see the boat but you know it's around somewhere (so you know it's going to be a fairly long wait), or the seas are building up while you're waiting, I could see some people considering their chance of getting their weights back and avoiding the cost of replacing them, being a consideration.
Hi, I’m new posting on the board. I assist in teaching scientific diving at UC Berkeley, where I’m a graduate student. This post is about a near miss I could see myself making. I don’t think it’s far fetched. It doesn’t involve any accident I know of. I’m just wondering about my gear, and maybe all our gear. It might be a little thing we can fix.
My thoughts on the pros and cons.
Pros:
* Color not slowing down my stressed brain on if or which weight to ditch.
* Few worries finding them after a practice ocean ditch drill.
* Option of ‘safety is key’ discussion when appropriate.
I don't know how that's a "Con".Cons:
* Some neon shining out of the outer pocket during the dive.
