I'm just starting to get into "tech" diving and recently bought a wing =
type BC with a stainless backplate. My question is, since the stainless =
back plate weighs about 6lbs, I now only need another 14 lbs to get down =
using a wetsuit. Would it be ok to eliminate the weight belt and attach =
lead directly to the backplate, such as the P-weight? I've been told yes =
by some and no by some. Any opininions?
                              Thanx,
                             Jeff
