"So this how we set up a weight belt for scuba diving. We want to make sure that the inside of the belt is going to go towards the inside of our body. We have a curved side of the weight, which is actually going to go up against your body. So I want the curved side of the weight. I'm going to do down through the weight and pass it back through. So you want to think about balance on a weight belt, and you do want most of the weight actually on your hips. Now you need the weight belt to actually end up with a right handed release, and that would mean that if I pull across with my right hand, the belt's going to come out....come off. So we need to make sure we have a right handed release with the weight belt. That means if we pull across with the right hand, so, this is a right handed release."
