Weightbelts are handy for kayak diving. My proceedure after the kayak is after anchoring over the dive spot is I put fins on, then get into the water and roll the weightbelt on, then pull the scuba rig off the back and put it on in the water. Go diving. Then coming back everything is done in reverse order
I do the same when diving from my kayak, almost the same from my boat except my BC and cylinder is secured to a line in the water ready to put on, on exit the weight belt is the first thing removed either clipped off to a line or passed up, BC clipped off next, the rest is self explaitary. The only weight on my BC is 2 trim weights, so the whole rig is not too heavy to haul onboard either craft. Easy for this old diver.
