Pedro, there must be some misunderstanding.  Backup lights are not 
secured with velcro.  Rather, a bolt snap is tied onto the light, 
and it is clipped off on the shoulder D-rings.  The other end is 
then retained by either an o-ring or a small cross-section of bike 
inner tube.  The only uses of velcro that I can think of are on 
gator wraps, pocket flaps, argon bottle systems, and cam buckle 
straps for single-tank adaptors.

Jozef, get the pockets.  You can add them after-the-fact.  Halcyon 
makes some nice ones, for example, and I suspect if you call one of 
their dealers they could recommend someone who can do the work of 
sewing and gluing them on.  I think DUI will add them to any brand
as well (in spite of my criticism of the velcro on one of their 
pockets they're otherwise good).  Both companies have web sites.

If you're diving wet you can unzip a little, tuck your WetNotes or 
tables inside, then zip back up.  Diving wet has serious limitations 
as far as time, depth, and temperature are concerned, however, and 
even then the sewn-on pockets are still better.
