Got my Scout last week and used it for two dives this past weekend.
Found I need 6-7 lbs. 3-4 less than with the Black Diamond. Really love the feel of the BC. Very free. Someone said it looked sleek and sexy. I thought they were talking about me. haha
Anyway, I had a difficult time getting my trim right. Because the trim pockets in the back are long and vertical, the weights always end up in the bottom of the pocket. I want them higher up so I can move my tank a bit lower to stop it from hitting my head.
1) How else do I do I adjust trim without going to a weight belt?
2) Maybe if I stuff something in the pockets so that the weight is at the top end of the pocket, it might help some. Will it? How much?
3) I guess I could dive with 8 lbs and put two in each front pocket and two in each rear pocket.
Also, I plan to attach a knife to the Scout. How do others do this? I was thinking on the right strap since it so nicely provides webbing on top of the strap. Dont want to put it on the left with the inflator hose.
Herman, you there? It was your posts that got me to buy the scout?
