Just got a Dive Rite setup: Harness, Aluminum Back Plate, Venture Wing. I use an LP 108 single tank. This is my first experience with a BP/W so I am trying to figure out my weighting issues.
Diving the springs last weekend I didn't use any extra weight and was okay because I never drained my tank. Today, I got in the pool and drained the tank down to 500 PSI. Doing a weight check at the surface I need about 2 pounds to be about right.
My question is, what is the best way to add weight to this setup? Also, I am a little concerned about how much weight I will have to add when I get in saltwater. When I was using my Zeagle BC more weight was not a problem with the pockets...but how do most of you put weight on your Dive Rite BP/W? Should I consider a Steel Back plate?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
