Weightbelts
We stock a large selection of weight belts and accessories to meet the requirements of different types of diving. You'll find conventional nylon webbing belts as well as rubber depth-compensating belts, which ladies often prefer and which are also chosen by many freedivers. Mavericks also carries pouch belts, ideal for the traveller and those who need to change their weight with changes in suit type or cylinder model. Naturally, we also offer shot belts and weight harnesses.
Buckle choices include traditional cam, Marseilles, flick or wire and positive release. For precision trim we provide ankle weights and cylinder weighting pouches.
Along with H and contoured weights, Mavericks Diving also have loose shot, weight retainers, D-rings, webbing and separate buckles.

Trident Neoprene Pocketed Comfort

rental block weights once you reach your location. Sponge neoprene
design keeps this belt soft on your waist and hips to prevent bruising
when using lightweight dive skins or no suit at all. Double lined for
increased durability. Complete with an accessory clip and a D ring.

Bowstone 4 Pocket Weight Belt
Bowstone's 4 Pocket Belt is ideal if you dive with a variety of suit
combinations or use different tank set ups. It's also great for pool
training. Using Velcro fastened pockets, weights remain secure but easy
to change in seconds. It's always convenient to get the perfect weighting
for every dive, however much your equipment alters or if you change from
fresh to salt water. The Bowstone 4 Pocket Weight Belt is extremely
comfortable to wear and adjustable for your personal waist size.
Stainless steel cam action quick release buckle.
Shot Belts
Bowstone Shot Weight Belt
Shot belts are extremely comfortable as they mould around your body much
like a beanbag. Our belt has vertical channels to keep the shot under
control and prevent it shifting laterally, which could upset your trim.
Shot belts take time and trouble to fill with lead shot, so they are best
suited to divers who have already standardized on their equipment and
won't need to make changes to their weights routinely. It's common
practice to weight shot belts for fresh water diving. For salt water
diving, Bowstone have provided this belt with two pockets into which
block weights can be added to overcome the extra buoyancy due to sea water.
Available in four sizes and equipped with a stainless steel cam action
quick release buckle.
Bowstone Quick Release Harness
Belt
Takes up to 18 kg of block lead or shot pouches in two quickly ditched
pockets. Pockets secure with Velcro and a pop stud and are nearly
impossible to drop by accident. Twin pull handles let you or your partner
jettison half or all of your weight. Over shoulder harness design helps
spread weight for greater comfort. Stainless steel cam buckle.

Precision Buoyancy Control Training
At Mavericks
Good buoyancy control is vital to your safety and comfort as a diver. If
you don't quite feel you've "got it", you're not alone. With so little
time spent learning and practicing buoyancy skills on an average scuba
course, lots of divers feel the same way. At Mavericks our precision
buoyancy control workshops can help. Based around the unique Diamond Reef
program developed by Buoyancy Training Systems Inc and used by NOAA (the
National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) for training their
scientific divers, our workshops teach and refine buoyancy skills.
During our workshop you'll practice proper weighting (you'll spend time
learning how with proper weighting and breath control you can dive
without any air in your BCD), how to distribute your weights for neutral
trim, practice fins-free descents and ascents with total control of your
speed and work on spatial awareness. It's a workshop that will open your
eyes to a much more relaxed and comfortable way of diving.
