Weight can be added directly to the Razor Harness itself (see Razor Harness Manual) but
this is not recommended. The advantage of using the TWS over putting weights directly
on the harness is fourfold:
a
Ease of use in removing or changing weights quickly
b
Hardware on the harness will not have to be removed and replaced to add or
remove weights
c
No adjustments to the harness webbing are required as the length of the webbing
stays the same and is not affected by adding or removing weights or using differ-
ent size weight blocks
d
You do not have to travel with weight on the harness

Velcro closing weight pouches can also be used on the Razor Harness in conjunc-
tion with the TWS so that in an emergency divers have the option of ditching some
weight at the surface during open water dives. Ditching weight underwater is not
recommended as it may result in an uncontrolled buoyant ascent.

In an emergency if extra buoyancy is required at the surface while using SM con-
figuration negatively buoyant Steel tanks can be removed or Aluminium tanks can
be drained to 140bar/2000psi or below at which point they will start to become
positively buoyant.
