I have a couple of questions for Oceanic Biolite owners from unexperienced diver.
1. How much weight do you put inside the pockets? Some websites indicate 6.3kg for both pockets, while other ones indicate 4.5 kg per pocket. Can one pocket hold 2 weights of 2 kg each (4kg total)? I mean will it be convenient to put the weights inside without struggle and without tearing the pockets.
2. Maybe its a strange questions but will it be afloat with weights inside? If yes - which weight do you refer to - 6kg, 8kg or more (for example 6kg in the pockets + 4 kg in the trim pockets, so it would be 10kg total weight). Im asking since I had dived with BC (another model) that could not sty afloat with weight inside the pockets (though the amount of weight was within the specifications), and it was inconvenient to put in on while in the water.
