Hi guys ..
Im pretty new to diving, on our courses we wore weight belts and a jacket BCD , some had integrated pockets ..
But , I bought a wing and back plate set up , I did this because I wanted to future proof myself , I wanted something that packs down small to stow on our yacht , I liked the idea of things being modular and being able to change things to suit our diving..
anyway, Im going to be diving in my 7mm semi wet for the most , be diving single tank setup , Im about 82 kg , I have a SS mares backplate and wing , and will be using a steel tank, diving in salt water ..
I Haven't weighted myself for this set up yet , so unsure how much Im going to need was hoping to do this , this week we we get down to the boat ..
now I have been playing around, and Im finding that the weight belt doesn't fit too great with the one piece harness , I have tried over and under , I find it bashes on the plate a bit , and is pretty uncomfortable, the belts we have are typical old style belt with thread on lead ..
my harness buckles up to the right , so would make sense to have the weight belt buckle up on the left , but we was told that weight belts need a right hand release .. but a left hand would be better suited for this ..
Any tips , advise or a solution .. thanks in advance ..
