Hi all,
This is probably a stupid question...but what is the point of the cumberbund? I gained weight and decided to cut the ends of mine off, but they can easily be sewn back on. I did 8 dives in Florida w/o the cumberbund and didn't have any problems. I made sure to tighten the waist buckle straps on my jacket style BCD to keep the tank from slipping, which is probably the obvious answer to my question. I know extenders are available and I will probably engineer an extension into the existing bund strap ends before I replace them. Worth the effort or not really necessary?
