My friend has a Sea elite BC which has large pockets but is not weight intergrated. Does anyone know of a cheap way to switch it into a weight integrated BC? Are there any after market type of weight pockets which could be fitted into such a BC? If anyone has any ideas or comments which could help me out it would be appreciated.

Have no idea what the BC looks like, but Zeagle (and I'm sure other brands) sell ditchable weight pockets which can be worn on a nylon belt. I'm not sure what their weight capacity is (when I'm diving OC I use them on back to help trim so I only put a pound or two in them). If the BC has a simple nylon waist belt, the pouches might work.

I think Dive Rite or OMS has a weight belt harness system. You strap it on under your BC and and it looks much more stable than a weight belt. I've seen people out at Square using them and I'm sure scuba dive and travel could tell you more about them.

DUI makes a very nice weight-harness. I know its made for a dry suit but I used it wet too. I wouldn't think about giving it up!!! I think it retails for around $100.
