Loading Block Weight into the Weight Pouches
The amount of weight each pouch will hold and the process for loading the pouch
is the same for either Hook and Loop or SureLock 1 version 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 four
separate block weights. For example, if you want to load a 16 lb. pouch with 16
pounds of weight, use four separate 4 pound blocks.
Lift up each pouch's flap (A), and lay it
back over the handle (B). While holding
the pouch fully open, insert the weight
(horizontally) into the upper and lower
weight compartments, then close the flap.
When each pouch has been loaded with
weight, firmly run your hand over the flaps
to securely fasten the hook & loop (C).
Aqua Lung recommends that the pouches be completely filled with four separate
block weights (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.
