I recently did a weight check with a 450g undergarment and I needed 22 pounds to sink. If I'm wearing normal undergarments I need 12 pounds.
I'm going to purchase a steel backplate and set up a harness for my cold water dives and it got me thinking, instead of buying one 6 pound backplate, why not buy two and use the harness to keep them together. This way I would only need to add 10 pounds of weight instead of 16 pounds. (My weight pockets were stuffed) Or is there a heavier steel backplate on the market?
