who wears weight and where?

I had been using a dry suit for sometime on OC, but admittedly never really removed the rig at depth...

practicing this with my Rebreather, all weight being on the rig, it is very awkward.

I have been contemplating wearing a weight harness...

any comments, good, bad, hopefully based on experience?!?!

I've never liked weightbelts or harnesses. I've got it spread round the rig, with weight pockets on either side of my hog harness. That's where I add/drop weight to trim for salt water/sea water etc.

Cheers,
