| Once I started regularly diving from private boats, I had to rethink my weight distribution regime. When diving from private boats, it is usual practice to pass up your weight belt, pass up any integrated BC weight pockets, and then take off the BC and pass it up as well. Great as they are, the dumpable weight pockets in the DUI Weight & Trim harness really weren't meant for this. You can dump them, but catching the pockets and passing everything up would be quite tricky. Plus it would be a pain to put it all back together after each dive. You can't remove the whole harness until the BC is off. But if you take off your BC with so much weight in your harness, you're very negatively buoyant and sink. Not good! So I fitted a set of OMS Compact Quick Dump Weight Pockets (BCA 270) to my OMS IQ Pack BC. This integrated weight system consists of two matching, rugged 1600 denier nylon pockets, incorporates no sag features, an inner pouch that holds the weight and is secured by a 2 inch quick release buckle to prevent accidental dumping of weights. Using these weight pockets adds an "integrated weights" capability to the OMS IQ Pack which enables me to split the weight between the DUI Weight & Trim weight harness and these weight pockets. Problem solved. Holds up to 7 kg (15 lbs.) per pocket. Measures 23 cm (9 inch) long x 13 cm (5.25 inch) high. Using these to add an "integrated weights" capability to the OMS IQ Pack. Enables me to split the weight between the DUI Weight and Trim weight harness and these weight pockets. |
