I just had the opportunity to dive with my new Triple-L orion BC (size M). Since the medium has no back weight pockets and I was not anxious to fall face forward, I decided to implement/adjust the BC to prevent that from happening (as much as I thought possible). My idea was to make 2 capped off PVC containers to hold 4lbs of lead shot. The PVC was attached to either side of the tank area via sewn velcro straps.
As for the effectiveness of the design, when at the surface with water at chin level, there appeared to be no difference than using my SeaQuest ProQD. Of course, over-inflating the BC resulted in the face down posture...but that was really overinflating it.
