I'm trying to find out what others are doing with BP/W setups for weights. Do you use ditchable weight pockets or a weight belt? What are the pros and cons with either setup that you've found?
I'm leaning towards a weight belt mainly because it can be purchased for about $25 (a nylon belt and 2 block weights) verses the Dive Rite 16 lb QR pockets that are $95.00, plus weights, plus shipping.
I'm not a tech diver I just like the feeling of the BP/W setup (less is more). My ideal dive is in swim shorts and a rash guard.
PS- I looked for another thread with this subject but couldn't find one.
