Jim,
I thought the idea of a weight belt was to drop in an emergency. George has
stated diving with double alum tanks and a wet suit a weight belt is the way
to go in open ocean, so in case of an emergency drop the weight. How do you
drop a V weight in an emergency with double alum tanks and a wet suit if that
is what you were referring to? In any event how do you drop a V weight in an
emergency in open water?
