Our Subea engineers designed this uncoated 0.5 kg weight to improve the weighting of all divers, spearfishers and freedivers.

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 diving suit: 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!).

Weight stops / belt slides

Weight stops (or belt slides) let you connect your weights together: this prevents them from moving when you move in the water.

This 500-gram weight is ideal for adjusting your weighting in deep water diving. It slides easily on the belt or in the weights pockets.
