ex-kayaker:
I was reading Big Jim's post earlier today about a buddy that wisely decided to ditch his weight belt when he got into some trouble on a dive.
I've been in a few sticky situations in the past where I contemplated doing the same.....but letting a $100 bill sink to to the seafloor isn't always an easy decision to make.
I have about 6-7, 2lb dive weights laying around collecting dust. I'm offering them up as a replacement to any member here that has to ditch their belt this season. Hopefully having a backup will make the decision to ditch a little easier if you're caught in a bad spot. The only caveat, you gotta share your story with us.
BigJim:
Heck yeah Art!!
If you end up needing more than the weight that Art has let me know and I will cover the difference.

Sincerely,
Jim
FishingForTheCure:
That is SOO awesome of you to do this!
crash:
Great idea.
If it were something that could get going, I'd pitch in for a dedicated insurance pool.
Tote:
That is a great idea. Too bad I sold all my extra stuff last season. I had a bunch of weights.
