Jim, I think you misunderstand my original comment.  No one is going 
to worry about $800 or even 100000000 when it comes to their life. 
That's not the problem.  Let me give you a hypothetical situation. 
Let's say you are diving, and you are caught in a downward vortex. 
You're going down, but you think you'll probably be able to swim up. 
You try for a while, and then realize you can't.  Now you think "it's 
life or death, I better drop my light".  Maybe you make it, maybe you 
don't.  If it was a weight belt, at the first sign of trouble you'd 
be saying "who cares about a weightbelt, I'm not even going to think 
twice about dropping it", and you'd drop it immediately.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear.  What I'm saying is that you're 
more likely to drop something that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, 
then something that does.  There are plenty of possible scenarios 
that could be life or death, but just start out as a small problem. 
This is what I'm talking about.

Whether or not you actually need ditcheable weight is another 
discussion.  With my Pro 6 it's probably not enough to be worth 
dithing anyway.

Cheers.
