I recently switched from a BCD to a steel backplate and wing, in preparation for moving on to doubles, and I am working out some of the kinks with the new gear, trying to find what works best for me.
Right now I'm using weight pockets on my cam band, but I'm finding that I'm not really comfortable making my gear even heavier. I'm a petite, lightweight diver and I may feel more stable, both in the water and on the surface, when I add the weight to my body instead of trying to struggle around with it on my back.
I'd like to hear whether everyone prefers to wear their weight on their body (on a weight belt or on their harness) or in a weight pocket on their cam band (either upper or lower.)
