While I haven't used the AtPak, I have two of the Dacor Nautilus CVS (Constant Volume System) that I use yearly in the rivers here. I have not had a problem with the weights, as they are four lead weights in a chute, and the chute is held closed by a lever/pin system. My problem with it is that this pin can inadvertently be pulled, and release the weights unexpectantly (especially when seated on a rock; don't ask how I know).

That too was a complaint about the At-Pac, but unlike yours that would drop a few square weights, the poor diver getting up on a boat and inadvertently catching the release pin, would have 100 or so marbles and led shot going all over the boat deck! :)
