At first I dove with ankle weights, then I didn't and said they were "training wheels," and now I'm using them again. The reason: cold water. I prefer a little extra air in my suit when diving in 42 degree water, and with my feet up anyway, prefer having the ankle weights there. I find the weight distribution is a little more uniform, and don't knock anybody with or without them. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
