Weight Belt

Sorry Drew, I did't realize this this was the religious section.

Fair enough, I accidently posted in the solo divers section a while back.

All things being the same, yes. What can you do to decrease your positive buoyancy as you swim up?

Hang on to the anchor line?

Darn you! Stop following me around and whipping me into shape! You are right, it was a little over the top..

But, you gotta admit, putting that in the DIR forum is kinda strange.

Eric, I don't know, I thought the idea for the forum was pretty good. Can take all the Darwin candidates and their dive philosphy out of arguements in the DIR forum and put them in there.

I still would not recommend weight belt under the crotch strap in an non-overhead environment.

Why, though? Given a properly weighted diver, diving with a buddy team that will always have sufficient air to get an OOA diver safely to an upline and to the surface, what possible need is there for dropping weight underwater? I can't think of *any*.

And why does being in an overhead matter? In a cave, if you loose your weight you can walk on the ceiling if needs be. No such luck in OW. Woosh, hello mr. breaching whale.

or grab the descending weight belt that a " diver with way more experience than anyone else" has dropped in his rush to the surface.
