Why should I buy these SEASOFT 1 lb. Ankle Weights?
Popular with smaller divers, snorkelers and some neoprene drysuit divers, the SEASOFT Ankle Weights are used to offset the extra buoyancy of the air found in the legs of some of the thinner, hybrid neoprene drysuits.
They are also useful for these applications.
1) Your diving position is important to good diving skills, being horizontal with a slightly legs up attitude is correct. Some divers dive with their legs too high causing excessive hydro-drag. SEASOFT Ankle Weights can be used to correct this for some divers.
2) If you have more weight toward the head than the legs. More BCs have the weight and trim pockets closer to the head, causing, again, the legs to float too high, which leads to excessive hydro-drag. SEASOFT Ankle Weights can be utilized to offset this imbalance.
