Why do divers use weights?
Most people are positively buoyant and would therefore have to expend energy to stay submerged. By adding the correct amount of weight you can adjust your buoyancy to be only slightly positive so that your not wasting energy to stay submerged. This allows you to relax and enjoy your dive. Note that it is worth spending the extra minutes before the dive to check that you are wearing the correct amount of weight. Pocket type weight belts are very convenient and allow you to change weights easily. You must make sure that the weights you choose are easily removable and are not attached to the primary Sea Breathe regulator waist belt.
