I lost a weight belt with a plastic buckle once . . . it's the only time I've ever come anywhere near that, and luckily, I was at the surface when it came loose. Switching to good quality metal buckles solved the problem. But a few months ago, Dumpster Diver, who had been trying to convince me of the utility of the rubber weight belt he's talking about, just up and sent me one.
He's right. They're fabulous. They're much less "slippy" than nylon belts, are NOT going to come loose, but are really amazingly easy to release when you want to do it. I feel a little embarrassed that it too me so long to be willing to try one.
