I am considering transitioning from a conventional BDC with seperate weight belt to the Diverite Transpac. However, I am curious how a seperate weight belt will work with the Transpac. Will the weight belt interfere with the Transpac hip belt? How about conflicts with other BP/W set ups? Whle I know that the Transpac can be fitted wth weight pouches, I prefer a seperate weight belt. I like the looks of the DUI harness weigt system but have the same concerns with utilizing it with a Transpac. Any thoughts or experiences using a seperate weight belt with the Transpac or similar BP/W setups?
Thanks
 
Get a good weight belt and not the cheapie pouches weight belt and you should be good. I've seen a guy that dives a Transpac who carries half his weight on the BC's weight pouch and half his weight on the belt. He uses one of those rubber belt with the bullet-style weights that the free divers use.
