The Weight Belt
The weight belt is one of the most important accessories for spearfishers and freedivers, as it holds the weight used to compensate for the buoyancy of the diver and their equipment.
The neoprene in a wetsuit, depending on its thickness, creates significant buoyancy; without a weight belt, it would be difficult to overcome this positive buoyancy and freedive comfortably.
Belt Material and Buckle
When choosing a weight belt, there are several factors to consider in order to make the right choice. Here are some of the main factors to keep in mind:
Material
Freediving and spearfishing belts must be strictly elastic. Belts made from non-elastic materials are not recommended for freediving and spearfishing, and are intended for other underwater disciplines.
Elastic weight belts are mainly made from 3 materials: rubber, high-density neoprene, or silicone.
With these materials, and by adjusting thickness or Shore hardness, belts with different elastic responses are produced to suit the needs of every freediver or spearfisher, ensuring the right experience for all conditions and styles of diving.
Closure system
Weight belts can feature different closure systems, such as plastic buckles, stainless steel buckles, Marseille-style buckles, or quick-release systems.
The closure system must be secure and easy to use, allowing the belt to be adjusted easily during activities in the water.
The Marseille Belt
Belts with a Marseille-style buckle deserve special focus. This type of belt has become the most popular among spearfishers and freedivers thanks to its reliability and safety.
The Marseille belt features a buckle that at first glance may look like a standard trouser belt buckle, but it has two key characteristics:
- The buckle has a roller (or cylinder) that allows the elastic belt to slide through the buckle, reducing friction.
- It keeps the locking pin in a forced open position.
This allows Marseille belts to prevent accidental buckle openings, which are common with other belts, while at the same time ensuring a free and extremely fast release when the user decides to "ditch" the belt.
Once released, the buckle pin remains in the open position, allowing the belt to pass freely through the buckle.
The Marseille belt is the safest belt model on the market, thanks to its quick release and reliability. But to ensure the quick release is not compromised by improper use, one precaution must be taken: the Marseille belt must be cut to size by the user!
Belts are sold in a standard length designed to fit larger waist sizes, and the user is expected to cut off any excess belt that is not needed. However, this is often overlooked, and many freedivers or spearfishers tend to wrap the excess around the belt itself, effectively compromising the belt’s quick release.
Our advice is to load the belt with the maximum number of weights you intend to use, put it on, and then cut off the excess portion, making sure to leave a section of belt (beyond the buckle) with at least two holes. This will give you a small tail of belt beyond the buckle, which can be "grabbed" if needed and simply pulled outward to trigger the belt’s quick release.
Marseille belts are usually made with thicker rubber that is better able to support the weight load. They also have controlled elasticity, which means that, when properly positioned, the belt does not shift along the freediver’s torso during descent and ascent.
If you have never used a Marseille belt, now is the time to try one!
Weight Belt Maintenance
To ensure long life and optimal performance from your elastic belt, it is important to take proper care of it. Here are some useful tips for weight belt maintenance:
- Rinse with fresh water: after every dive, rinse the belt with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or other residue. This will help prevent long-term damage or corrosion.
- Drying: make sure the belt is completely dry before storing it. Avoid leaving it in a damp place or exposed to direct sunlight, as this could reduce its lifespan.
- Inspect regularly: inspect the belt regularly for any signs of wear, damage, or deformation. If you notice any issues, replace the belt without delay to ensure your safety underwater.
In conclusion
Investing in a quality belt is an important step toward a better underwater experience. A high-quality weight belt will ensure your safety and provide excellent durability over time.
