Halcyon Trim Weights
Halcyon tank-mounted trim weight pockets are yet another novel Halcyon invention. This patented product supports optimal weight distribution, encouraging diving comfort and in-water stability. While at the surface, Halcyon trim weights promote a heads-up position, counteracting the positive tendency of buoyant cylinders. These same weights support a horizontal position while under water, reducing effort and encouraging diving fun.
Key Features of Trim Weights
- Up to 5 lb/2.27 kg of weight per pocket
- Built from 1,000-denier nylon with a hook and loop closure; a sturdy buckle ensures the weights remain in place
- Designed to fit securely onto the tank straps
- Excellent for travel, allowing you to fit additional weight upon reaching your destination
- Halcyon trim weight pockets are protected by US Patents 5855454 and 6530725b1.
Weighted Single-Tank Adapter
Divers who are able to remove unnecessary weight from their waist enjoy greater comfort and better in-water position. The Halcyon weighted single-tank adapter places an additional six pounds between the backplate and single cylinder, removing weight from your waist and encouraging a more comfortable in-water position. The weight is easily removed during travel or when less weight is required.
- Attaches securely to Halcyon Eclipse BC Systems
- Epoxy-coated 6-lb. (2.7 kg) weight is easily removed
- Removable weight may be purchased as part of the Halcyon BC systems
V-Weights
Double-tank divers are able to counteract buoyant diving systems with the Halcyon V-weight, placing additional weight under the backplate. The Halcyon V-weight is made of molded lead; it is designed to fit securely under the backplate and between the diver's tanks.
V-Weights are available in 11 lb. (5 kg) or 8 lb. (3.6 kg).
