I have a DiveRite BP/W setup. I had it for my AOW course last weekend and it worked GREAT! Best rig I have dove yet. I only have one complaint, the "TransWeight 32 System ". The problem is during the dive it slides forward and encoumbers the D-rings on my hips. I did find an older thread that touched upon the subject but it boiled down to the system was not made to work with the simple single piece of webbing harness which is what I have and prefer. I have not found where it says this on Dive Rite's sites but given the problem I am having it seems to add up. My first thought was to take a piece of mason line (that I use to tie bolt snaps to accessories) and loop it through the pocket and the backplate seems a bit kluggy for something that cost $125 but the sliding is starting to bother me. I see some posts that suggest to wear a weight belt instead of intergraded. I have issues with them slipping off and I would like to see if I can get these to work. I also understand that they take a lot of belt real estate but if they are slid back against the plate it is much better. I seen an older design that used the shoulder strap to hold the pocket in place it seems to me that was a better design. Anyone augmented theirs of found a good solution?
