Weights and Weightbelts
Weightbelts
For the Commercial Divers, Freedivers, Snorkellers and Spearfishing Peoples.
Most modern day BCD's come with integrated weight pockets, however, some scuba divers still choose to use weightbelts including hunters and gatherers.
There are different sizes and types of weightbelts, so its best to get measurement or try them on in person.
Weights
Weights are personal. Depending on different factors will determine the optimum weighting for a person wither freeediving or diving.
These include
- Your personal weight and bone density
- The thickness of wetsuit
- The type of wetsuit - Closed Cell or Open Cell
Individually we need to consider these to correctly determines ones personal weighting requirements.
Mostly this comes with practise and understanding how to achieve perfect buoyancy.
