Up and over the side. I've had my boat for 3 years, and I have yet to use my ladder. Although the platform is good when you got to pee. <img src= " height="23" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x">
Just hang it in the pocket of a LONG FIN and lay it up on the gunnel tilting down.....works for me at the anchorage. Just pee in some Else's fin.;)

I have to look at my PFI course book again. I remember they gave a ratio for belt to neck weights.
3:1 rings a bell right now.Most of the time I use 6 on my belt and a 3 lb neck weight. (using my pocket calculator I get 2:1)
I don't know if PFI instructors are considering things the diver may be carrying that has negative buoyancy: ie camera, heavy gun, abb iron, and where it is positioned relative to his wt belt axis. Guys that fill the bottom of their lungs vs just lifting the chest and pulling in the abs will have their head/shoulders higher then their hips on the surface.
I use a very negative gun at times, and where I position it fore and aft trims my body angle at the surface due to the geometry of the lever axis/pivot point.

At 79'' it a big gun, I'll shoot the over length images Tues, as I lost light.Cheers, Don

Yes, the way I run mine, the belt always has more wt, I practice unbuckling the wt belt returning from deeper dives at least 5 times a season. On one blackout I had the practice paid off, as I'm still here. I'm a strong believer in drills.

When using a weight vest what should be the weight ratio vest to belt?
It would depend on the users body fat ratio and build. I change mine to reflect the negative buoyancy of what ever gun I'm carrying. I have ten lbs in my wt belt and and only 4 in my SpearDiver vest when diving over 40FSW.
If I am very shallow (15 to 10 FSW) add 2 more lbs to the vest with a Pursuit 5mm suit.

We just went to a local spot at Hotel Laguna;) to see small WSB and monster bugs. He is on his way South this AM to look for the larger ones, than on to S.D. for another dive Tues. We should be getting a post from him later in the week before he heads back on Wed.Ander's was great to have as a guest and we wish him a safe trip home. The water was 55 degrees and vis in the kelp was 15 to 20 on the 3:00PM to sunset dive.
