Weight Integration Features

Loading Weight into the SureLock™ Pouches

Aqua Lung recommends that each pouch is loaded with equal amounts of weight for optimum balance, preventing the tendency to roll to one side during the dive. Also, it is strongly recommended that each weight pouch is fully loaded with two separate weight blocks for the standard pouch, or four separate blocks for the large pouch. For example, if you want to load a standard pouch with 6 pounds, use two separate 3 pound blocks (see step 2, next page); if you want to load a large weight pouch with 12 pounds, use four separate 3 pound blocks.

Loading Weight In The Large Size SureLock™ Weight Pouches

The procedure for loading the large weight pouch is the same as the standard pouch, except that the large weight pouch has an upper and lower weight compartment. Aqua Lung recommends that the pouches be completely filled with four separate weight blocks (two per compartment); however, if you need to partially fill the pouch, load the bottom compartment first. Use the diagram below for proper weight placement.  (This diagram is also sewn on the weight pouch flap.)

warning NOTE: Some weight pouches are specially pre-formed to fit the contour of your waist. Do not attempt to bend or straighten a pre-formed pouch.
