Coated diving weight 1 kg for diving, spearfishing, freediving
Our Subea diving team have designed this coated weight to avoid direct contact with the lead and to protect it. For all divers, spearfishers and freedivers
This diving weight stands out by its grey colour. A little bonus that prevents direct contact with the lead in the water.
BENEFITS
Easy dressing
This weight slides onto your diving belt. Slot: 5 x 0.8 cm
Robustness
The grey coating protects the weights against shocks.
Weight
This uncoated weight weighs 1 kg (with a tolerance of ±5 %).

Slot: 5 x 0.8 cm
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.
