- I've been test diving a couple of twin tanks set ups to get the right buoyancy. And, it being that Vintage Divers don't rely on a BC, it occurs to me that a divers weight belt becomes a very well thought out and personal piece of equipment.
- The weight belt on top is what I use with my Sportways Twin 42 tanks when wearing a 3mm wetsuit with 3mm hooded vest. Those are just two 1 lb weights for a total of 2 lbs. Why not a single 2 lb weight? It's for looks, man! Also even distribution. The knife is modern but sharp and handy. The belt and buckle are vintage USD and Dacor.
- The weight belt on the bottom is what I use with my USD Twin 38 tanks when wearing the same 3mm wetsuit with 3mm hooded vest. That's four 2 lb weights for a total of 8 lbs. The knife is vintage '70s ScubaPro... It's dull and heavy but really cool looking! I made the belt from cotton webbing with a vintage quick release buckle I got from VDH. I added some adjustability with a modern plastic slide buckle.
