Where/how do you carry your weights to your dive site?
My weight bag (was a birthday present years ago) has finally given up the ghost, should I replace it? It's an older version of this one:
XS Scuba Weight Bag
and has served me well for 10-12 years or so.
I'm trying to decide if I should replace it.
When I got it I was still tuning my weights, switching between all kinds of rental and personal cylinders - AL 80s, Steel 80, 100, 120s of various kinds, trying different weights and locations. My buoyancy was also not the best and my air consumption was all over the map. And I was in the process of losing 30 lbs.
My weights were changing almost every dive, it seemed, so it was convenient having a variety of weights at the site to choose from. I also ended up loaning weights to under-weighted visitors (meetup shore dives).
Now I'm rarely changing weights at all, 20lb with my 7mm, BC and identical steel 100s.
Should I buy a replacement, or just start loading my weight pockets with the "usual" mix at home before I throw all this stuff in the car? How do you usually get lead from home to shoreline?
