Questions about this item:
Shopper I Snorkel, have a 6mm aqua lung suit (older style), and weigh 160lbs. It has been years since I've done this. How much weight should I have for neutral buoyancy?
MARC H First, these are great weights and I have been happy with them. I like them because the are covered with thick vinyl and don't make my other dive gear dirty.
It is not possible to predict the required weight with any degree of accuracy, you will need to experiment to find the right weight. Body density varies between individuals and 6 mm suit is extremely buoyant making it hard to guess.
I assume you intend to free dive. Keep in mind your 6mm suit could lose half of its buoyancy in your first 30 feet of of the dive, so any decision is a compromise of some kind.
DOUGLAS H That will vary from individual to individual. You don't state if you are going to be in salt water or fresh, which very much influences buoyancy. Women tend to have a greater percentage of body fat than men, but some men can have a lot of body fat. More body fat means more weight Some women and men can have more muscle, which is more dense, and would need less. Certainly you will need some weight with a 6mm suit as it will be considerably buoyant. A 6mm in salt water might require quite a bit. Could be anything from 6 or 8 pounds on up to 14 or more. The only way to know for sure is to take an assortment of weights with you and try them out a couple of pounds at a time in water shallow enough to stand up in in case you get too much on you. Rent from a local dive shop so you'll have an idea of how much of these vinyl coated ones you want to buy fro Leisure Pro.
Shopper what is the dimensions on the 2 lb weight?
THOMAS K I do not have a 2 lb weight, but the 3 lb is
3.0" x 3.5".
G S What are the size dimensions on this? Does the hole go all the way through?
JASON M Yes holes go all the way through so you could put them on a weight belt. Size might be 3 inch by 3 inch by 3/4 inch deep. Nice weights I have 50 lbs of them.
DOUGLAS H These are simply standard lead weights coated with vinyl so the dimensions on them will be slightly larger than the lead weight inside. Slots fit a standard weight belt and go all the way through just like the slots on a "naked" lead weight. I've never used them in a weight integrated BC, but I can't see a problem with the two and three pound weights fitting into most BC weight pouches. I assume the hole you inquire about is the hole above the "4" on the weight pictured. This hole is simply a leftover dimple from molding the vinyl around the weight and does not go through. If you are considering a weight for a weight integrated BC pouch you'd do better with one of the lead shot/mesh pouch products like Soft Weights.
Shopper What is the width of the belt slots on these weights?
LeisurePro S These weights have slots for 2" webbing.
Shopper I wanted to know how to determine how much wait is needed for a dive.
LeisurePro S The general guideline for calculating how much weight you need is to take 10% of your body weight. Add 2 additional pounds if you are wearing a 3mm suit, 4 pounds for a 5mm suit and 6 pounds for a 7mm suit.
Shopper What is the weight? 2LBS each? Do you have 1LB too?
LeisurePro S click on select size for all sizes.
You like the more traditional weight belt for several reasons. One, they increase your stability in the water, and two, they make handling your scuba system much easier because it's lighter out of the water. Sea Pearls coated weights are a long favorite of experienced divers. These weights are accurate and true weight, all corners and edges are round, and weights have curved inner surface to fit around you increasing the comfort of a weight belt. Weights are manufactured with antimony which is an alloy, to increase lead's hardness and mechanical strength, making them resistant to deformation. Vinyl coating is chemically bonded to the weight so they won't peel.
- Vinyl is chemically bonded to the weight. Won't peel away from the weight.
- Cleans easily with soap and a dish scrubber.
- Non-glare matte finish resists scuffs and scratches year after year.
- Curved inner surface fits around you. All sizes use the same inside radius.
- All corners and edges are round.
- Belt webbing is recessed into the weight, front and back.
- Antimony alloy is 6 times harder than plain lead. Resists deforming.
- Wide belt slots and strong, thick cross-section prevents the clamping of weights onto your belt when dropped.
