Scuba Diving Weights
1.00 €
Diving weights, or "lead," are essential for scuba divers to achieve neutral buoyancy and compensate for the upward force of their equipment in water. The optimal amount of weight varies significantly based on body weight, body composition (fat vs. muscle), the type of exposure protection worn (e.g., thin wetsuit vs. drysuit), the buoyancy of your dive gear and tank, and whether you are diving in salt or fresh water.

Scuba Diving Plastic Coated Weights
1.00 €Use of plastic-coated diving weights
Plastic-coated weights are designed for use on a diving belt (or integrated weight systems in BCDs). They provide the necessary ballast to help a diver achieve neutral buoyancy underwater, just like traditional lead weights. The main difference is that the lead core is covered with a durable plastic coating.
Advantages compared to bare lead weights:
- Corrosion protection: The plastic coating prevents direct contact of lead with water, reducing oxidation and corrosion.
- Environmental safety: Since the lead is encapsulated, it minimizes the release of lead particles into the sea or onto the diver’s gear.
- Comfort and handling: The smooth plastic surface is more comfortable against the diver’s body and less likely to damage wetsuits or equipment.
- Durability: The coating increases resistance to wear, scratches, and deformation compared to exposed lead.
- Aesthetics: Plastic-coated weights often come in different colors and have a cleaner appearance than bare, oxidized lead.
