Diving Weight Belt With Soft Pockets For Lead Weights

Diving belt developed for scuba divers who want to distribute their weights around their waist properly and secure the weights.This belt can be adjusted to your waistline using the stainless steel buckle. The right number of weights can be inserted in the pockets for every dive.

Sizes and weights

Belt available in two sizes (M and L)
— the smaller size can contain 6 kg in its two pockets (2×2 kg + 2×1 kg). It measures a maximum of 128 cm and weighs 375 g
— the larger size can contain 8 kg in its 4 pockets (4×2 kg). It measures a maximum of 135 cm and weighs 400 g.
The belt’s buckles can be adjusted for a perfect fit.
The pockets can contain all types of weights: uncoated, coated or soft lead shot.

Which size?

When installing your weights, we advise you to start with the hips before filling the pockets on the back.
This avoids having too much weight on your back and distributes the weight more evenly for a better balance.
Try on your belt to make sure that the two furthest pockets are positioned on the hips.
The non-slip strip provides better grip on the neoprene of the wetsuit.

What has an influence on weighting?

1/ Your physiology (weight) and your body mass index (weight/size).

2/ Water:buoyancy is greater in seawater (you need more weights) than in fresh water.3/ Your wetsuit:the thickness of the neoprene also influences buoyancy.
4/ The weight of the tank (for SCUBA diving) and the volume of the air content:The more air you consume, the lighter your cylinder becomes and your buoyancy tends to become positive (you float!).
