While almost everybody I see dives integrated, I now have a Mako rubber belt with Tinman weights, and I am totally sold. Sleek, comfortable, and will be, I expect, easy to dump if needed.

I wound up keeping the integrated weights, and shifted some weight further "north" by adding an ankle weight looped around the top of my tank. When I finally hit that sweet spot on balance and minimal weight, it...was...glorious.
It's amazing what an ankle weight can do up on your tank valve, isn't it?
