Having learned to dive late in life I made up for it in my first year by clocking up 120+ open water dives in places from the UK to Australia. I went from a non diver to a technical deco diver in 9 months and loved every second of it. Since having kids not been able to travel as much so spend my time watching videos and reminiscing, hope you enjoy my site as much as I have making it.
Hmmm, I guess you could always shroud it in a non-permeable coating to reduce leeching… not even supposed to use bare lead for fishing tackle, let alone that much for diving.
I was thinking of buying one of those weights, but annoyed by the cost. I have tons of scrap lead already but don't have a welder to make a mold. With your approach, the backplate is the mold, duh! Great idea!
Awesome…
Please tell me you don't still cook food on that Webber BBQ after filling it with Lead fumes?
Can you remove the P weight if you want to? Or is it stuck there permanently? Also what are the bolts in the middle for?

That's gonna be hard as Hell to drop when you need to go up !!! LOL
That's a P-weight.
A V-weight sits between your backplate and your doubles.
Awesome innovative way to do it

Nicely done.
