Freediving Neck Weights and ballast weights
The neck weight is one of the most important technical tools in a freediver’s equipment. Positioned around the neck, it affects weight distribution in the upper body, where buoyancy is more pronounced due to residual air in the lungs and the volume of the neoprene wetsuit. Proper balance in this area helps maintain a more stable horizontal trim and reduces the muscular effort required to correct posture during glide and ascent phases.
This category includes the full range of complete neck weights ready for use, structural bases to be paired with variable-weight segments, inserts, and replacement straps. The products cover every level of use: from beginner freedivers approaching their first pool sessions to advanced freedivers working on precise trim in dynamic or static apnea.
Product types
Within the category, there are different types of ballast weights, each with distinct construction features.
Complete modular neck weights. These are the most popular solution among intermediate and advanced freedivers. They consist of a load-bearing structure—the base—and a variable number of additional weight segments that are interchangeable and removable. This system allows the total ballast to be calibrated by adding or removing individual weights without replacing the entire neck weight. The Lobster neck weights in the 2.5 kg and 4 kg versions, the C4 Deep & Dynamic neck weights in 1.6 kg, 3 kg, and 4 kg, and the C4 Dyno 4 kg neck weight fall into this category.
Fixed or semi-fixed neck weight. The Mares 2.4 kg neck weight is made of 300 gr segments connected to each other on a Cordura strap with a quick-release buckle. It allows the load to be adjusted directly in the pool, making it suitable for instructors who need to adjust student weights during sessions.
Cordura neck weights with compartments. The Best Divers freediving neck weight uses a Cordura fabric structure with fixed and expandable compartments, filled with nickel-plated lead shot that reduces oxide formation. Its elongated shape is designed to shift the weight’s center of gravity from the neck toward the rear of the chest, reducing pressure on the cervical area.
Neck weight bases and separate segments. Lobster bases for 2.5 kg and 4 kg neck weights, Lobster Squid 800 gr bases, and Lobster and C4 segments allow the components of the ballast system to be purchased or renewed separately. Lobster segments are available in different weights (100 gr, 200 gr, 300 gr, 400 gr, 500 gr) and multiple colors. C4 offers complete 1.4 kg segment kits as well as individual 280 gr and 1kg segments.
Complementary accessories. The category includes the Mares Cordura strap for securing the neck weight, Best Divers Cordura weight pouches (available in three weight variants), neck weight carry bags, and Lobster rubber inserts, used to secure and stabilize the weights inside Lobster neck weights.
Materials and technical features
The materials used in the products in this category reflect specific requirements for durability, comfort, and adaptability to the marine environment.
Lead Weight and nickel-plated lead shot. The internal core of the neck weights is made of lead, a high-density material that allows the product size to remain compact while maintaining the required weight. Best Divers uses nickel-plated lead shot which, thanks to the nickel coating, offers greater corrosion resistance than raw lead, reducing oxide formation over time.
Injection-molded thermorubber (C4 Dyno). The outer covering of the C4 Dyno neck weight is made of thermorubber using an injection-molding process. This production method allows for a thicker coating material compared to traditional processes, resulting in greater resistance to mechanical abrasion. The thermorubber surface keeps the neck weight in position on the wetsuit without slipping during movement.
Cordura. Cordura fabric is a high-tenacity technical nylon material, abrasion- and water-resistant, used for closure straps and weight pouches.
Screw assembly system (C4 Dyno). The C4 Dyno neck weight features a screw-based assembly and disassembly system that allows weight segments to be added or removed securely.
How to choose a neck weight
The choice of a neck ballast system depends on two main factors: discipline and wetsuit thickness.
Discipline practiced:
- In dynamic apnea in the pool, the neck weight is especially useful for correcting the tendency of the upper body to float, promoting a horizontal posture that reduces hydrodynamic drag.
- In static apnea, the neck weight helps maintain a relaxed position without the need to continuously contract the neck and shoulder muscles.
- In deep freediving at sea, use of the neck weight is more selective and is integrated with traditional belt weights.
Wetsuit worn. The thickness and volume of the neoprene wetsuit determine the amount of positive buoyancy to compensate for. A 5 mm or 7 mm wetsuit generates significant buoyancy in the chest area; a 1.5 mm or 3 mm wetsuit requires less neck ballast. The optimal weight should always be tested in the water before finalizing the configuration.
Fixed or modular system. Modular segment systems—such as Lobster and C4 neck weights—allow the ballast to be adjusted over time without purchasing a new neck weight. This makes them the most flexible choice for those who want to adapt the load to different wetsuits or different training phases. Fixed or semi-fixed systems such as the Mares Neck Weight are quicker to adjust and particularly suitable for pool use or training environments.
Total system weight. The range in this category covers everything from a few grams (50 gr or 100 gr inserts for micro-adjustments) up to 4 kg for complete neck weights. Most pool freedivers work with loads between 1 and 3 kg; those practicing freediving with thick wetsuits or in the sea may need heavier configurations.
Available brands
Lobster is the brand with the widest range in this category on Deep Blue. It offers complete neck weights in Lobster 4 kg and Lobster 2.5 kg versions in multiple colors, the 1.3 kg Squid neck weight in its complete version and an 800 gr base version, as well as an extensive range of interchangeable segments in five weights (100 gr, 200 gr, 300 gr, 400 gr, 500 gr) and rubber inserts. The availability of individual components makes the Lobster system easy to expand and customize over time.
