These 4 or 6 pocket weight belts can hold 6 lbs. (or
more) of hard lead or, 10 lbs. of shot
per pocket. This produces a ballast up
to - 24 & 36 lbs.- or - 40 & 60 lbs.- respectively. We have reduced the conventional pocket models length by over
12" while at the same time increasing the payload.
The new slim 3-d pocket
permits us to place a lot of lead in a short distance.
Adjustable waistline
The adjustability permits the individual to shift the
carrying pockets forward & backward
to accommodate a variety of divers dress and body shapes. The rear of the belt is usually left open to
permit the comfortable carrying of an air cylinder. The open space keeps lead out from under the tank, preventing
lower spine pressure.
Maintains balance. The diver can at will, shift their center of
gravity (weight forward or backward) to maintain a comfortable swimming
position and to compensate for any unusual BCs or equipment characteristics. This reduces stress and fatigue.
Commercial or custom belt and pocket can be accommodated
for a small surcharge. Pouches for lead
shot available upon request.
Aesthetically pleasing, available in
a variety of colors, and packs up neatly in the dive bag.
