They may be used by divers or on equipment such as diving bells, submersibles or camera housings. </p><p>Divers wear <b>diver weighting systems</b>, <b>weight belts</b> or <b>weights</b> to counteract the <a href="/wiki/Buoyancy" title="Buoyancy">buoyancy</a> of other <a href="/wiki/Diving_equipment" title="Diving equipment">diving equipment</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Diving_suit" title="Diving suit">diving suits</a> and aluminium <a href="/wiki/Diving_cylinder" title="Diving cylinder">diving cylinders</a>, and buoyancy of the diver. The scuba diver must be weighted sufficiently to be slightly negatively buoyant at the end of the dive when most of the breathing gas has been used, and needs to maintain neutral buoyancy at safety or obligatory decompression stops. During the dive, buoyancy is controlled by adjusting the volume of air in the <a href="/wiki/Buoyancy_compensation_device" class="mw-redirect" title="Buoyancy compensation device">buoyancy compensation device</a> (BCD) and, if worn, the <a href="/wiki/Dry_suit" title="Dry suit">dry suit</a>, in order to achieve negative, neutral, or positive buoyancy as needed. The amount of weight required is determined by the maximum overall positive buoyancy of the fully equipped but unweighted diver anticipated during the dive, with an empty buoyancy compensator and normally inflated dry suit. This depends on the diver's mass and body composition, buoyancy of other diving gear worn (especially the <a href="/wiki/Diving_suit" title="Diving suit">diving suit</a>), water <a href="/wiki/Salinity" title="Salinity">salinity</a>, weight of breathing gas consumed, and water temperature. It normally is in the range of 2 kilograms (4.4 lb) to 15 kilograms (33 lb). The weights can be distributed to trim the diver to suit the purpose of the dive. </p><p>Surface-supplied divers may be more heavily weighted to facilitate underwater work, and may be unable to achieve neutral buoyancy, and rely on the diving stage, bell, umbilical, lifeline, shotline or jackstay for returning to the surface. </p><p>Free divers may also use weights to counteract buoyancy of a wetsuit. However, they are more likely to weight for neutral buoyancy at a specific depth, and their weighting must take into account not only the compression of the suit with depth, but also the compression of the air in their lungs, and the consequent loss of buoyancy. As they have no decompression obligation, they do not have to be neutrally buoyant near the surface at the end of a dive. </p><p>If the weights have a method of quick release, they can provide a useful rescue mechanism: they can be dropped in an emergency to provide an instant increase in buoyancy which should return the diver to the surface. Dropping weights increases the risk of <a href="/wiki/Barotrauma" title="Barotrauma">barotrauma</a> and <a href="/wiki/Decompression_sickness" title="Decompression sickness">decompression sickness</a> due to the possibility of an uncontrollable ascent to the surface. This risk can only be justified when the emergency is life-threatening or the risk of decompression sickness is small, as is the case in free diving and scuba diving when the dive is well short of the no-decompression limit for the depth. Often divers take great care to ensure the weights are not dropped accidentally, and heavily weighted divers may arrange their weights so subsets of the total weight can be dropped individually, allowing for a somewhat more controlled emergency ascent. </p><p>The weights are generally made of <a href="/wiki/Lead" title="Lead">lead</a> because of its high <a href="/wiki/Density" title="Density">density</a>, reasonably low cost, ease of <a href="/wiki/Casting" title="Casting">casting</a> into suitable shapes, and resistance to <a href="/wiki/Corrosion" title="Corrosion">corrosion</a>. The lead can be cast in blocks, cast shapes with slots for straps, or shaped as pellets known as "<a href="/wiki/Lead_shot" class="mw-redirect" title="Lead shot">shot</a>" and carried in bags. There is some concern that lead diving weights may constitute a <a href="/wiki/Lead_poisoning" title="Lead poisoning">toxic hazard</a> to users and environment, but little evidence of significant risk. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Function_and_use_of_weights">Function and use of weights</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Function and use of weights"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Diver weighting systems have two functions; ballast, and trim adjustment. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ballast">Ballast</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Ballast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The primary function of diving weights is as ballast, to prevent the diver from floating at times when he or she wishes to remain at depth. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Free_diving">Free diving</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Free diving"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In free diving (breathhold) the weight system is almost exclusively a weight belt with quick release buckle, as the emergency release of the weights will usually allow the diver to float to the surface even if unconscious, where there is at least a chance of rescue.

The weights required depend almost entirely on the buoyancy of the suit. Most free divers will weight themselves to be positively buoyant at the surface, and use only enough weight to minimise the effort required to swim down against the buoyancy at the start of a dive, while retaining sufficient buoyancy at maximum depth to not require too much effort to swim back up to where the buoyancy becomes positive again.

If the air is exhaled, most people will sink in fresh water, and with full lungs, most will float in seawater. The amount of weight required to provide neutral buoyancy to the naked diver is usually trivial, though there are some people who require several kilograms of weight to become neutral in seawater due to low average density and large size. This is usually the case with people with a large proportion of body fat. As the diver is nearly neutral, most ballasting is needed to compensate for the buoyancy of the diver's equipment.<sup id="cite_ref-BSAC_manual_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BSAC_manual-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The main components of the average scuba diver's equipment which are positively buoyant are the components of the exposure suit. The two most commonly used exposure suit types are the <a href="/wiki/Dry_suit" title="Dry suit">dry suit</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Wet_suit" class="mw-redirect" title="Wet suit">wet suit</a>. Both of these types of exposure suit use gas spaces to provide insulation, and these gas spaces are inherently buoyant. The buoyancy of a wet suit will decrease significantly with an increase in depth as the ambient pressure causes the volume of the gas bubbles in the neoprene to decrease. Measurements of volume change of neoprene foam used for wetsuits under hydrostatic compression show that about 30% of the volume, and therefore 30% of surface buoyancy, is lost in about the first 10 m, another 30% by about 60 m, and the volume appears to stabilise at about 65% loss by about 100 m.<sup id="cite_ref-Bardy2005_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Bardy2005-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The total buoyancy loss of a wetsuit is proportional to the initial uncompressed volume. An average person has a surface area of about 2 m<sup>2</sup>,<sup id="cite_ref-Gallo_2017_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Gallo_2017-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> so the uncompressed volume of a full one piece 6 mm thick wetsuit will be in the order of 1.75 x 0.006 = 0.0105 m<sup>3</sup>, or roughly 10 litres. The mass will depend on the specific formulation of the foam, but will probably be in the order of 4 kg, for a net buoyancy of about 6 kg at the surface. Depending on the overall buoyancy of the diver, this will generally require 6 kg of additional weight to bring the diver to neutral buoyancy to allow reasonably easy descent The volume lost at 10 m is about 3litres, or 3 kg of buoyancy, rising to about 6 kg buoyancy lost at about 60 m. This could nearly double for a large person wearing a two-piece suit for cold water. This loss of buoyancy must be balanced by inflating the buoyancy compensator to maintain neutral buoyancy at depth. A dry suit will also compress with depth, but the air space inside is continuous and can be topped up from a cylinder or vented to maintain an approximately constant volume. A large part of the ballast used by a diver is to balance the buoyancy of this gas space, but if the dry suit has a catastrophic flood, much of this buoyancy may be lost, and some way to compensate is necessary.<sup id="cite_ref-CMASISATxManual_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CMASISATxManual-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-BSAC_manual_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BSAC_manual-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another significant issue in <a href="/wiki/Scuba_diving#Open-circuit" title="Scuba diving">open circuit scuba</a> diver weighting is that the breathing gas is used up during a dive, and this gas has weight, so the total weight of the cylinder decreases, while its volume remains almost unchanged. As the diver needs to be neutral at the end of the dive, particularly at shallow depths for obligatory or safety <a href="/wiki/Decompression_practice#Decompression_stops" title="Decompression practice">decompression stops</a>, sufficient ballast weight must be carried to allow for this reduction in weight of gas supply. (the density of air at normal atmospheric pressure is approximately 1.2 kg/m<sup>3</sup>, or approximately 0.075 lb/ft<sup>3</sup>) The amount of weight needed to compensate for gas use is easily calculable once the <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_underwater_diving_terminology#free_gas_volume" title="Glossary of underwater diving terminology">free gas volume</a> and <a href="/wiki/Density" title="Density">density</a> are known. </p><p>Most of the rest of the diver's equipment is negatively buoyant or nearly neutral, and more importantly, does not change in buoyancy during a dive, so its overall influence on buoyancy is static. </p><p>While it is possible to calculate the required ballast given the diver and all his or her equipment, this is not done in practice, as all the values would have to be measured accurately. The practical procedure is known as a <a href="/wiki/Glossary_of_underwater_diving_terminology#buoyancy_check" title="Glossary of underwater diving terminology">buoyancy check</a>, and is done by wearing all the equipment, with the tank(s) nearly empty, and the buoyancy compensator empty, in shallow water, and adding or removing weight until the diver is neutrally buoyant. The weight should then be distributed on the diver to provide correct trim, and a sufficient part of the weight should be carried in such a way that it can be removed quickly in an emergency to provide positive buoyancy at any point in the dive. This is not always possible, and in those cases an alternative method of providing positive buoyancy should be used.<sup id="cite_ref-Knedlik_3-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Knedlik-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-worksafe_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-worksafe-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Media_diving_CoP_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Media_diving_CoP-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A diver ballasted by following this procedure will be negatively buoyant during most of the dive unless the buoyancy compensator is used, to an extent which depends on the amount of breathing gas carried. A recreational dive using a single cylinder may use between 2 and 3 kg of gas during the dive, which is easy to manage, and provided that there is no decompression obligation, end-dive buoyancy is not critical. A long or deep technical dive may use 6 kg of back gas and another 2 to 3 kg of decompression gas. If there is a problem during the dive and reserves must be used, this could increase by up to 50%, and the diver must be able to stay down at the shallowest decompression stop. The extra weight and therefore negative buoyancy at the start of the dive could easily be as much as 13 kg for a diver carrying four cylinders. The buoyancy compensator is partially inflated when needed to support this negative buoyancy, and as breathing gas is used up during the dive, the volume of the buoyancy compensator will be reduced, by venting as required. The inconvenience of additional weight and managing the gas required to compensate for it in a dive that goes according to plan is the price that must be paid for the ability to decompress after an emergency which uses up most of the gas. There is little value in having enough gas to avoid drowning if the diver is killed or crippled by decompression sickness instead.<sup id="cite_ref-CMASISATxManual_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CMASISATxManual-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Cudel_2021_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cudel_2021-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Examples: </p> <ul><li>The common 80 ft<sup>3</sup> (11 litre, 207 bar) cylinder carries about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of air when full, so the diver should start the dive about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) negative and use about 1/10 ft<sup>3</sup> (2.7 L)of air in the BCD to compensate at the start of a dive.</li> <li>A twin 12.2 litre 230 bar set carries about 6.7 kilograms (15 lb) of Nitrox when full, so the diver should start the dive about 6.7 kilograms (15 lb) negative and use about 6.7 liters (0.24 cu ft) of gas in the BCD at the start of the dive.</li> <li>A twin 12.2 litre 230 bar with an 11 litre 207 bar deep deco mix and a 5.5 litre 207 bar shallow deco gas will carry 10.7 kilograms (24 lb) of gas, and while it is unlikely that all will be used on the dive, it is possible, and the diver should be able to remain at the correct depth for decompression until all the gas is used up.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Optimum_weighting">Optimum weighting</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Optimum weighting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Optimum weighting for scuba allows the diver to achieve neutral buoyancy at any time during a dive while there is still usable breathing gas in any of the cylinders carried, using the least amount of ballast.

For recreational divers this is usually swimming horizontally or observing the environment without making contact with benthic organisms.<sup id="cite_ref-CMASISATxManual_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CMASISATxManual-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Ascent and descent at neutral buoyancy can be controlled well in horizontal or head-up trim, and descent can be most energy efficient head down, if the diver can effectively equalise the ears in this position. Freediving descents are usually head down, as the diver is usually buoyant at the start of the dive, and must fin downwards. Professional divers usually have work to do at the bottom, often in a fixed location, which is usually easier in upright trim, and some diving equipment is more comfortable and safer to use when relatively upright. </p><p>Accurately controlled trim reduces horizontal swimming effort, as it reduces the sectional area of the diver passing through the water. A slight head down trim is recommended to reduce downward directed fin thrust during finning, and this reduces <a href="/wiki/Silting" class="mw-redirect" title="Silting">silting</a> and fin impact with the bottom.<sup id="cite_ref-fund2006-35-37_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fund2006-35-37-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Trim weighting is mainly of importance to the free-swimming diver, and within this category is used extensively by scuba divers to allow the diver to remain horizontal in the water without effort. This ability is of great importance for both convenience and safety, and also reduces the environmental impact of divers on fragile benthic communities.<sup id="cite_ref-Hammerton_2014_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hammerton_2014-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The free-swimming diver may need to trim erect or inverted at times, but in general, a horizontal trim has advantages both for reduction of drag when swimming horizontally, and for observing the bottom. A horizontal trim allows the diver to direct propulsive thrust from the fins directly to the rear, which minimises disturbance of sediments on the bottom, and reduces the risk of striking delicate benthic organisms with the fins. A stable horizontal trim requires that diver's <a href="/wiki/Centre_of_gravity" class="mw-redirect" title="Centre of gravity">centre of gravity</a> is directly below the centre of buoyancy (the <a href="/wiki/Centroid" title="Centroid">centroid</a>). Small errors can be compensated fairly easily, but large offsets may make it necessary for the diver to constantly exert significant effort towards maintaining the desired attitude, if it is actually possible.<sup id="cite_ref-CMASISATxManual_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CMASISATxManual-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-fund2006-33-35_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-fund2006-33-35-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The position of the centre of buoyancy is largely beyond the control of the diver, though some control of suit volume is possible, the cylinder(s) may be shifted in the harness by a small amount, and the volume distribution of the buoyancy compensator has a large influence when inflated. Most of the control of trim available to the diver is in the positioning of ballast weights. The main ballast weights therefore should be placed as far as possible to provide an approximately neutral trim, which is usually possible by wearing the weights around the waist or just above the hips on a weight belt, or in weight pockets provided in the buoyancy compensator jacket or harness for this purpose. Fine tuning of trim can be done by placing smaller weights along the length of the diver to bring the centre of gravity to the desired position. There are several ways this can be done.<sup id="cite_ref-McCafferty_and_Seery_2014_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McCafferty_and_Seery_2014-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Ankle weights provide a large lever arm for a small amount of weight and are very effective at correcting head-down trim problems, but the addition of mass to the feet increases the work of propulsion significantly. This may not be noticed on a relaxed dive, where there is no need to swim far or fast, but if there is an emergency and the diver needs to swim hard, ankle weights will be a significant handicap, particularly if the diver is marginally fit for the conditions. </p><p>Tank bottom weights provide a much shorter lever arm, so need to be a much larger proportion of the total ballast, but do not interfere with propulsive efficiency the way ankle weights do. There are not really any other convenient places below the weight belt to add trim weights, so the most effective option is to carry the main weights as low as necessary, by using a suitable harness or integrated weight pocket buoyancy compensator which actually allows the weights to be placed correctly, so there is no need for longitudinal trim correction. </p><p>A less common problem is found when rebreathers have a counterlung towards the top of the torso. In this case there may be a need to attach weights near the counterlung. This is usually not a problem, and weight pockets for this purpose are often built into the rebreather harness or casing, and if necessary weights can be attached to the harness shoulder straps. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types_of_weight">Types of weight</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Types of weight"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>All or part of the weighting system may be carried in such a way that it can be quickly and easily jettisoned by the diver to increase buoyancy, the rest is usually attached more securely. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ditchable_weights">Ditchable weights</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Diving_weighting_system&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Ditchable weights"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Freediving" title="Freediving">Breathhold</a> and <a href="/wiki/Scuba_diving" title="Scuba diving">scuba divers</a> generally carry some or all of their weights in a way that can be quickly and easily removed while under water.

If severe, it may be necessary to ditch weights to get to the surface.<sup id="cite_ref-Dive_Magazine_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dive_Magazine-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Under-weighting leading to inability to descend or remain at a required depth. While inability to descend at the start of a dive may be considered an inconvenience, the inability to maintain depth at a required decompression stop at the end of the dive may put the diver at a severe risk of decompression sickness.</li> <li>Inability or failure to ditch weight to establish buoyancy in an emergency. In an out of air emergency there may not be gas available to inflate the buoyancy compensator if it has been allowed to be insufficiently inflated. The only option left to reach the surface may be to ditch weights. A similar need may arise at the surface if there is a major loss of buoyancy. Occasionally a diver at the side of the boat will remove the scuba set with buoyancy compensator before passing up their weight belt, and then find it impossible to remain afloat because they are over-weighted. If they fail to grab the boat or ditch the belt the risk of drowning is high.<sup id="cite_ref-DUI_recall_25-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-DUI_recall-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Loss of weight at depth at the wrong time. Ditching weights at depth to establish positive buoyancy will generally prevent a properly controlled ascent. The risk of drowning due to running out of breathing gas is exchanged for the risk of decompression sickness. Accidental loss of weights when there is no emergency will cause an emergency if there is a decompression obligation.<sup id="cite_ref-Buzzacott_2021_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Buzzacott_2021-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>Loss, damage or injury caused by mishandling. When passing the weights to a person on the boat, there is a risk that the weights may be dropped, and may hit the diver, or someone's foot, demand valve, mask or camera, or may drop overboard to be lost, or possibly hit a diver under the boat.</li> <li>Discomfort or stress injury related to weight distribution and support. A weight belt hanging from the small of the back of a horizontal diver to counteract suit buoyancy spread over the full length of the diver can cause lower back pain. When walking on land before and after a dive, the weight belt may exert painful pressure on the hip joints.</li> <li>Additional work load due to sub-optimal distribution. The work of finning will generally be increased by using ankle weights which must be accelerated for every kick. When this is combined with other effects increasing the workload on the diver, it may cumulatively exceed the work capacity of the diver and result in a positive feedback loop of buildup of carbon dioxide.<sup id="cite_ref-Dive_Magazine_24-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Dive_Magazine-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li></ul> <p>Buoyancy and weighting problems have been implicated in a relatively high proportion of scuba diving fatalities.

The weight hangs freely between the two parts of the cable, and due to its weight, hangs horizontally and keeps the cable under tension with the vertical parts parallel. The bell hangs between the vertical parts of the cable, and has a fairlead on each side which slides along the cable as it is lowered or lifted. Deployment of the bell is by a primary lifting cable attached to the top. As the bell is lowered, the fairleads prevent it from rotating on the deployment cable, which would put twist into the umbilical and risk loops or snagging.
