Have you ever experienced problems with a weight belt becoming loose? No, I have never personally used one but some women divers that I have spoken to say that it bruised them and was very uncomfortable.
Does the potential safety aspect of this occurrence concern you? Of course.
Would you consider purchasing such a weight belt? No.
Further Comments: I have seen many people have problems with their weight belts and have heard much complaining. I will always like my integrated weight BC the best.
