My question is: how important is BCD removal / replacement skill under water? What situation will requires having to remove your gear u/w? Is it advisable not dive without a belt or a weight harness due to being prepared for using such a skill?
Thanks in advance.

the only situation I can envisage ever removing my kit underwater is if the hole in the wreck was too small for me to get through and there was no other way out I could find.
talking your kit off in the water without a very very good reason is just plain stupid. IMHO.
