Harness goes on, then tank/BCD. If you ditch weights you are only releasing the pouches. The harness stays with the diver.How does putting on the harness work? Do you put it on first and then your BCD/tank?

Yeah that's what I do, except I use wt. belt on suspenders (for scuba of course) instead of harness. So you'd only release the pocket weights (2 ten pounders), since the belt would be a mess to get off.Harness goes on, then tank/BCD. If you ditch weights you are only releasing the pouches.

Nobody has ever said diving is a poor man's sport. If you're going to do it right, you need the right gear. There are usually options to buy used and sell used minimizing the cost.Wow, you going to chip in on all this new gear?
It's only different in the sense that typically a drysuit diver will need more lead than the same diver in a wetsuit.Why would weighting be any different for a drysuit (I've never dived dry so have no experience with the weighting)?

I'd appreciate if you told the folks I've buddied up with over the years that they aren't using the right gear. Because I'm not going to do that.If you're going to do it right, you need the right gear.

It isn't.I guess this is a thinly veiled shot at me
It's an obviously sarcastic comment at your (what I consider a rather bombastic) statement. Not at all intended to be thinly veiled.
