Weight Integration Features

Maximum Weight Capacity

The SureLock weight system features two interchangeable weight pouches which can be filled with either block weights or “soft weight” (pouches containing lead shot), in increments of 5 pounds or less. For ease of operation, low-profile block weight is strongly recommended. Refer to the BC Weight Capacity Chart for your specific model of BC for maximum weight pouch capacity.

warning WARNING: For smaller BCs, the lift capacity may not exceed the weight pouch carry capacity. The negative buoyancy of the lead, plus the negative buoyancy of the cylinder (when full), should not exceed the BC’s positive buoyancy. The inability to achieve positive buoyancy while at depth or on the surface may lead to a hazardous situation that could lead to serious injury or death. Refer to the model-specific label, usually found in the pocket of your BC, to find the designated lift capacity, and load weight pouches accordingly (see photo above). If you have any questions, contact your local authorized Aqua Lung dealer, or call Aqua Lung at (760) 597-5000.
