Tank-mounted Trim Weight Kit
More
than half of all diving fatalities occur at the surface. Sadly, most divers
believe that jacket-style BCs provide proper surface floatation when, in
fact, a divers surface position principally relates to their weight
distribution. A nearly empty aluminum cylinder will usually float an
unconscious diver face-down regardless of the BC worn. However, the Halcyon
Trim Weighting Kit promotes heads-up surface airway protection by
counteracting the positive tendency of buoyant cylinders.
- Shifting weight from a diver's waist toward their center, such as with a stainless Halcyon Backplate or trim weight system, facilitates horizontal diver trim and reduces drag
- Up to five pounds of weight can be attached to your tank with each streamlined trim weight pocket
V-Weights
Explorers
have utilized this unique weighting system for years, yet the inconvenient
nature of its construction has made it all but unavailable in the dive
community. Now available from Halcyon, this integrated weight system allows
double tank divers to reduce the need for bulky hip weights. The V-Weight
mounts between manifolded cylinders to provide precise weighting, allowing
you to carry the minimum removable weight to facilitate a swimming ascent.
Available in 11 lbs. and 8 lbs. sizes
Weighted Single Tank Adapter
Yet
another tool that allows you to get weight off your weight belt, the Halcyon
Weighted Single Tank Adapter provides six pounds of non-releasable ballast
between you and your single cylinder rig. The Weighted STA works with all
Halcyon backplate designs. The Weighted STA is pictured above on the left,
in comparison to our standard STA.
