let’s set up my new dive belt 🐚🌊 - shell weight belt for freediving

I dive with 5 lbs total:
→ 2 x 2 lb weights (with shell covers)
→ 1 x 1 lb teal weight in the back

all on a Bright Buoy weight belt with a Marseille buckle (my preference) from the Neritic dive shop

how to choose your weight:
it’s not one-size-fits-all. your body, your suit, and the water all play a role

→ aim to be neutral around 10–15 ft
→ positive at the surface
→ don’t overweight yourself just to get down faster

⸻

how to set it up:
→ keep your quick-release buckle in the front
→ distribute weight evenly for balance
→ a little weight in the back helps with trim

when you close it, feed the belt through, hook the pin into a hole and tuck the excess so it lays flat in a way that is easy to release in an emergency situation.

fit is everything:
→ wear it low on your hips
→ not too high on your stomach (you want full breaths)
→ snug, but not tight

if it rides up… it’s too high or too loose

what color combo do you have your eye on? 💙
