5 Oceans

I just started diving. In fact this past weekend I just completed confined water diving training (PADI).

I have few questions about 5 Oceans BC I am using.

1. There is no obvious place for fixing "fixed" pockets for weights. Pockets come in a bag and one is supposed to install them on their own. Obviously there is no manual to go with it and one online is not appropriate. I've put them on a tank strap (one on each side) but that doesn't look like best place to me as they slip out when you loosen the tank). So is this the right place or somewhere else? (Side comment: I mean, is it too much to ask to get decent user manual when you drop that kind of money?)

2. That clip for backup secondary sucks to say the least as it doesn't hold alternate regulator that good at all! Not to mention the place is rather odd to put it at. Is there a better way and place to put alternate regulator on this BC?

Thanks!

OK, I gave support a call. They acknowledge lack of specific manual for the BC.

The pockets for fixed weights are to be attached through those two loops on the pockets and onto tank strap on each side of the tank.
