While there are at least 10,000 posts on BP/W setups, I couldn't find a definitive answer for this question: in addition to a weight belt, what system could be used that allows for quick weight adjustments? I have a Jetharness setup ordered (appears to be a great rig, and I have no plans for double tank diving in the near future)...and plan to wear a weight belt holding the majority of my required lead. This will allow for a convenient weight-dump if ever required, but not so handy for adjustments while in the water. Would two tank strap pouches suffice? My finance minister has vetoed the Halcyon ACB, so I'm looking for a less expensive alternative. Any suggestions?
