WEIGHT SYSTEM
REAR TRIM WEIGHT POCKETS
Accommodates 2 X 2kg / 4.5lbs in dorsally mounted, non-ditchable pockets that assist in
achieving vertical flotation at the surface and also in achieving horizontal trim when swim-
ming underwater.
TO USE THE REAR TRIM WEIGHT POCKETS:
a. Insert the desired amount of weight into the pockets and secure the lids with the
quick-release buckles.
b. Distribute the weight evenly between left and right pockets to promote even trim
underwater.
c. It is advisable to use soft weights such as SCUBAPRO Eco Weights as they reduce wear
of the BC pockets and are more comfortable. The sealed SCUBAPRO Eco Weights have
the added environmental benefit of preventing lead contact with the water.
Note: These weights are not ditchable during the dive.
