DAVE V I would go with the large size....I am about a 33-34 and it has worked very well for a variety of wet suits and given me absolute flexibility. Great product and more convenient than regular weight belt in my experience with it. Dave

CAROLE O I'd put on the thickest suit I have and measure, leaving some extra length for adjustments. You can always cut some off the end if you have to, so if in doubt, go larger.

GLENN M allow 3 or 4 more inches for your wet suit depending on how thick it is ... add a couple more inches ... you can always pull it tighter ... it is like an airplane's seat belt ... adding additional inches after you get it is impossible ... so, better to overestimate

ANDY T # 1 how much do you weigh? # 2 R you lean or chubby? Boyancy is the issue. Waist should be 33 >36. in case you get a wet suit. Andy

BRYAN N Rafi, that is going to be a bit tough. I wear a 7 pocket and I have every pocket full and I normally go down with about 30 in salt water. What I would recommend is looking at the 7 pocket (they are comfortable and put in 5lbs a pocket) that will get you to 35. You can add some weights to your pockets of your BC and then ankle weights. The porblem with having that much wieight on your belt is it will be really hard to put on. I would also be careful with that much weight on your belt. I am 240 lbs and have a lot of fat that I have to compensate for. In fresh water (with a 7mm wetsuit) I can get away with about 25lbs. If you need 50 lbs, I would question if you are over weighting yourself. Just be careful is all I am saying. Good luck, Safe Diving!

CHARLES L You should never dive with that kind of weight, you should only dive with weight equals 10% of your body weight when free diving about 20% when diving with BC. That is dangerous with all that weight.

TIMOTHY D sure it'll take the weight if you use had weights but why are you diving so heavy? i'm 250 and with 7mm suit hood and gloves and an alluminum tank use less than 20.

JERRY S For a 34" waist, I would probably recommend the 6-pocket belt. I have a 40" waist, and I found that the 7-pocket belt fit a little better. I actually purchased the 6-pocket belt first and then bought the 7-pocket belt afterwards. It had more room/length for me to adjust how snug it fit. While a 40" waist is in the range of the 6-pocket belt, I thought the 6-pocket belt was a bit tight and I needed a longer waist strap so that I could get it to fit comfortably and still have a margin for increasing or decreasing how tight it was around my waist.

JAMES L My waist is 34" so I can answer your question. The five pocket will fit you perfectly.

DANIEL C I'm a size 32 and I just bought the normal large. I also dive with a dry suit though. Belt was very nice with a good sturdy zipper. It was very comfortable to wear.

LeisurePro S The four pocket belt fits 20 lbs and goes up in 5# increments from there. The belts can fit either lead or shot weight.

LeisurePro S 6 pocket
