With the current set-up I have my trim is right on, that is using a weight belt.

For warm water diving I wear a 3mm full wet suit and a hood. My rig is a TranspacII w/weight pockets, a Halcyon wing, single tank adapter, jet fins. With this set-up I am usually at 12lbs to 14 lbs. I was thinking of using just the pockets on an upcoming trip and was wondering how bad this was going to mess up my trim. Any ideas?

I would assume the pockets are going to put the weight just a bit higher up so I may be a bit heavy towards my head. If this is the case how can I adjust for this or pre-empt the effect of using the pockets?

Thanks in advance
