I've been experimenting with different harness setups. I currently have the standard ditchable weight pockets mounted horizontally on my waist belt.
I've seen other setups where the pouches are hung vertically near the divers ribs. I use a 2" sternum strap and am considering moving the weight system to that strap vice the waist strap. If I do move the weight system I'd most likely go with pockets similar to this:

How much of a buoyancy issue would it cause moving the weights from my waist up about 9"?
