OK, now that all the house comedians have applied for the job, now it's my turn. What I was getting at is something to eliminate the weight when getting ready to get back on the boat. I can see handing over your weight belt and diving without a wetsuit but the empty AL80 goes about 35 pounds if I'm not mistaken. If that could be reduced to 8 pounds it would make it a lot easier for an old fart like myself to get back up the ladder. Not much you could do about the weights on entry though so you'd be stuck with the heavy entry especially when using the DUI weight system which I use. Of course you could stick with Gucci dives where they jump in the water and take off all your stuff for you. Or how about the boat people picking you up and throwing you off the side on entry. I guess there are less costly ways of getting around the problem.
