And I can think of a few dozen of why they're not..... that would be roughly
the number of weight pockets I find out in the sand anytime I do a little S&R
off the wrecks. How'd they get there? The broke loose and dropped out of
someone's BC during entry.

I can think of 3 more reasons why' they're not...... that would be the number
of times I saw one Advanced Wreck Student have his weight pouch fall out of his
integration system at depth last season. Loosing half your weight system at
110 fsw is always good for a few laughs.

Still I can think of 2 more reasons..... the number of times I saw another
Advanced Wreck Student loose one of his pouches during a single dive two years
ago.

FWIW, the above examples represent a variety of different models and
manufacturers. It doesn't seem to be a case of one brand/model works and
another doesn't. Based on my observations I'll stick with a belt, thank you.
