Yeh I was warned about the back coming off, can't for the life of me see how, and the buggers are wedged in there good n tight.

Recently whilst in the Solomon Islands I dived the unit without weight as well, wearing a 3mm full suit and using Ali 80 stages.

I would recommend you not remove the weight pocket as it is quite versatile for routing torch leads etc.

Also beware of loose shot weights inside the case, I once had a student on a mix course whose back came off his unit and 2 kilos of weight suddenly went south!!

Have fun
