I think the solution to one of the problems was already stated, don't
include the weight of the tool bag in your weight trim.  I typically
will drop my bag either at the anchor, outside or just inside a hole I
want to work.  As for streamlining, I'd like to hear how others solve
this one.  Only idea I have is having a small tool bag vs. the larger
one I have.  I need to work on that one....

		Maggie,

		remarkably, there are no private e-mails on this subject
that I have had.
		I'm surprised too.

		I'm a caver and wreck diving for me is to use up
leftover gas. The reason I
		ask is that I see a lot of divers with a whole range of
tools in hideous
		configurations. I don't dive DIR but that doesn't mean
to say that I don't
		keep my equipment streamlined and simplistic (awaiting
the contradictions).
		It just makes me wonder what others do.

		I see a lot of divers replace weight belts with tool
belts but that seems
		exceptionally risky. I've also seen divers keep long,
thin tools (crowbars,
		chisels, wrenches, etc) bungeed against the tanks which
also seems risky
		(how do you get it back in once you've used it?)

		Interesting to see that brass ferrets are not confined
to Britain.

		Regards,

		Stuart.
