I've been using my Transpac T3000 BCD since my certification dives and I must say that I love it. Every Dive I've done with it has been with the configuration in comes as (Cummerbund, Lumbar Support Pad) and for weights I've been using two weight pockets with 5 pounds each and a weight belt for the rest of my weights.
I just ordered four XS SCUBA quick release weight pockets and had the following question.
In order to fit all 4 of them on the waist belt I had to take off the cummerbund. Is there any real advantage to the cummerbund. I'm also planning on taking out the lumbar pad. Other than comfort, are there any real benefits to these things?
Last Question
Is there any thing wrong with having most of the weight towards the front of the body? (I also have 2 5 pound trim pockets on the top CAMBAND)
Thanks in advance for any insight you guys can provide.
PS: All these questions are based of functionality and not comfort
