I'm looking into my first set of gear and I'll probably get a BP/W (likely the DSS with Pro-fit, SS plate, but still looking) and a steel 85 LP tank. I've looked at the DUI weight harness, weight belts of nylon, rubber or neoprene, the Dive Rite 16 and 32 weight integrated add on pockets, hard weights, coated hard weights, soft weights, etc.
I'm 220 lbs, last dive in fresh water, 7mm suit, Weight Integrated jacket BC, alum 80 and 26lbs weight.
Most of my dives will be 65-75F freshwater NY summers, and some FL Keys diving in spring. I'm just starting out with no plans to rush into technical or cave diving, etc.
I'm trying to decide on the weight system, some form of pockets, belt or a combination of both. The DUI harness is probably more than I need, also the ability to remove the weight system easily and pass them to a boat operator is probably good for me at this point.
I've read some good threads, but still can't decide.
Any general thoughts and specific recommendations would be appreciated.
