dry suit weighting...

**hoppyinca** · 1st April 2007, 15:18

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 use a good ol' fashioned weight belt.

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.
