That said I do believe 1 bag whether it be a 2 or three tube bag is best IMHO. less weight and area for water to fill in, if you bag isn;t waterproof or have good drainage. If your not wetsuiting, it makes no difference whether 2 or 1 bag its all personal choice

Fin my point was more toward the amount of weight and gear on ones belt while wetsuiting. I agree with you about being pushed around in the current with a bigger bag.

massbassman, I wasn't taking a shot at you, I just see more and more guys with so much stuff hanging off their belt while wet suiting it is just asking for trouble. Imho it just can't be logical or the way to approach wetsuiting, especially for the beginner. I am a far cry from a hardcore wetsuiter and will never claim to be one, I was just speaking from my own personal experiences. I like to stay light and mobile, like you said to each his own.
