Proper weighting is key to comfortable and safe diving. Without quality weights and belts, you won’t maintain proper position underwater and will waste unnecessary energy and air. Poorly chosen weights can ruin your entire dive.
Weight amount depends on wetsuit type, water salinity, and your body composition. Too little weight means you won’t descend, too much will burden you and worsen maneuverability. Quality lead weights have proper shape and surface treatment that prevents equipment scratching.
Belts must reliably hold weights while allowing quick release in emergency situations. Quick-release buckles are vital – in critical moments you must be able to ditch weights immediately. Cheap belts often loosen or their buckles jam.
Weight distribution affects your position in water. Belt weights around the waist are most common, but sometimes additional ankle weights or vest pocket weights help.
Properly chosen weights allow effortless swimming and focus on observing the underwater world.
