Achieve Neutral Buoyancy & Dive Comfortably

The right dive weights and belts are essential for maintaining neutral buoyancy, improving control, and enjoying a streamlined underwater experience. Whether you’re deep diving, spearfishing in kelp beds, or training in freediving, our weight systems offer comfort, security, and customizability.

Types of Diving Weights

Soft Weights: These fabric-encased lead shot weights contour to your body and reduce pressure points. Ideal for use in belts or integrated BCD systems—perfect for divers looking for extra comfort and flexibility.

Traditional Lead Weights: Compact and reliable, these solid weights are perfect for scuba divers who need precise and durable ballast on every dive.

Types of Diving Weight Belts

Nylon Belts: Tough and long-lasting, nylon weight belts are a popular choice for scuba divers carrying heavier loads. Their rigidity helps support traditional lead weights securely.

Rubber Belts: Designed for freediving and spearfishing, rubber belts stretch with your body as your wetsuit compresses, keeping weights tight and in place throughout the dive.

Silicone Belts: Flexible, chemical-resistant, and UV-stable, silicone belts offer a premium fit with excellent durability.

Buckle Types & Safety Features

Stainless Steel Buckles: Rustproof and rugged, metal buckles provide reliable security in saltwater and cold-water diving environments.

Plastic Buckles: Lightweight and cost-effective, ideal for warm water divers looking for simplicity without sacrificing function.

Marseillaise Buckles: Preferred by freedivers and spearfishers for their quick-release mechanism and secure hold—especially useful in emergency situations.

Choosing the Right Dive Weights & Belt Setup

Scuba Divers: Choose a nylon weight belt paired with solid lead weights and a metal buckle for strength and security during deeper or longer dives.

Freedivers: Opt for rubber or silicone belts with soft weights and a Marseillaise buckle to maintain unrestricted breath control and mobility.

Spearfishers: Use rubber belts with quick-release buckles for flexibility and safety in fast-paced hunting scenarios.
