Regardless of whether you're scuba diving, freediving or spearfishing, your configuration you will need a certain amount of diving weight. Lead dive weights are used to act against the buoyancy of other diving equipment, such as diving suits and diving cylinders. Luckily there are now many options to ensure that not only are you weighted correctly, but that the weight can be distributed effectively to improve your trim.
We sell Lead Block Ingot Weights for use in integrated weight pockets and pocket weight belts, and Slotted Lead Weights for standard weight belt configurations. We also have V-Weights to fit in the gap between the two cylinders of a twinset and provide non-ditch able ballast right in your centre of gravity for excellent trim.
Lead weights are an important piece of equipment for all divers as they help you get below the water and obtain the neutral buoyancy required for Scuba Diving, Freediving, and Spearfishing.
For help as to how to figure out how much lead you need, please see The Scuba Doctor's Perfect Scuba Diving Weighting guide.
Here is a typical Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for lead weights (PDF, 3 pages, 6Mb).
Affixing Dive Weights
There are various ways in which weights can be affixed securely to your dive weight belt.
We Service & Support
and many more...The Scuba Doctor use dive manufacturer's recommended parts and service kits wherever possible. This ensures that we are protected and that you, the customer is also protected. While this may not make us the cheapest scuba diving servicing engineers around, it does provide you with peace of mind.
All our dive equipment servicing is guaranteed for 3 months from the date of service. If it goes wrong within that time through normal diving activities, bring it back to us and we will service it again free of charge.
Please note that the high pressure seat in diving regulator first stage reducing valves need a short time to bed in. While we try to alleviate this by working the scuba regulator (achieved by lightly pressing the purge button a number of times) on completion of the service, you may experience a slight free flow when the regulator is first used. This will disappear very quickly.
However, we recommend that your dive regulators are used prior to going on overseas holidays where the climate and humidity may be very different to the servicing environment. For more information on this issue please contact The Scuba Doctor.
