Question re: Solo Diving Course drill

[Thalassamania]

Not exactly the right one, this is a screw down variety

If this was me, I'd take out my integrated weights, one at a time, and slip them down my zippered up wet suit. It fits pretty snug so they're not going to go far. Once I get the BC situation under control, the weights get dug out of the wet suit and put back where they belong.

Just my .02.

That's rather a good thought. It would be a problem for us, the only zippered wetsuits are on women of rather small stature with pronounced curves, and that's inverted in the side of the jacket.

I dive in Tropical waters. Closest I get to a wetsuit might me a front zip-up diveskin which would not hold the weights securely.

Not only that, my Cressi-Aqualight-R doesn't have a "conventional" weight system. It's the only quirk in an otherwise superb BCD.
