This is a pocket that mimics the cannister light. It is reinforced with an
ABS plate and provides storage and helps to hold the hose in place.
Personally I prefer to use a cannister light all the time as it provides
lighting where needed and is an excellent communication device. But for
divers that do not want to use a cannister the pocket can be a great asset.

This is part of the ACB (active control ballast) which was primarily
designed for divers in dry suits with single tanks that need additional
weighting. The system incorporates a weight pocket on each side while still
providing a d-ring andf/or light attachment location. The primary advantage
here is that the diver does not have to where the weight belt under the
harness.

Best,
JJ
