alan_lee:I've had very bad experience once with my weight belt, when the buckle failed, the belt dropped rite to the bottom. Problem was, my tank was emptying, and I was hovering at about 20m. I could feel myself starting to ascend and my dive comp was beeping cos the ascent was too fast. Had to duck dive and fin to as to stop myself from popping up. I know I should prob flare my body (as taught in OW), but at that point, I just wanted to slow down my ascent. Anyway, point is, I started wearing my belt underneath after that.
But with the width of the harness, would it be too narrow? Am thinking of getting the pockets mounted on the harness.
I wear my weight belt under my harness. I use an XS Scuba pouch type belt. If I ever need to I can open the pouches and drop a few lbs at time. It does not interfer with my harness and I'm about 5'9"
