Hi there, I recently bought a set of 16lb Diverite pockets for use with a VoyagerPac BCD. I thought that would be enough (rookie mistake!) but after doing some dives yesterday I found that I need about 11 or 12kg total to get down (5mm double wetsuit, AL80, 6ft and 87kg in salt water). My question is whether it is safe to load these pockets with more weight (6kg in each, as opposed to 3.6kg as rated)? Or will the buckle/velcro attachment system not stand up to that? I'm sure the answer is no but would like to confirm before I go to the trouble of returning them to a shop on the other side of the world! Cheers for your help.
