I'm not. I wear a Viking Pro Surveyor and my tools
are part of my weight system. I always used DUI
C-2 undies, but have just changed to 'Andies Undies'
and like them lots. With twins and ideal maniold, I
wear one 8 lb weight on right hip and a 6 pounder plus
my lump hammer (3 pounds) on left hip. The crowbar
weighs maybe 3-4 pounds (it's a smaller one) and I'm
neutral with just enough air in the suit to be warm. The
Viking does not change bouyancy with depth, unlike any
of the neoprene suits, and with some 15 years on this particular
example it's well patched but with the original zipper.=20
Bottom line: I removed weight for the tools, and feel it's
a good trade-off. After all, I cannot beat a porthole off with
a 4 pound lead chunk... Best to have -usefull- ballast. ;-)
