Weight Systems for Larger Divers

Proper weighting is an important part of comfortable buoyancy control, and larger divers may need more flexibility in how weight is carried and distributed. This collection brings together scuba weights, weight pockets and weight-system components that can help divers build a balanced setup without concentrating unnecessary weight in one location.

Explore options for configuring weight with BCDs for big, tall and broad-chested divers, adjustable harnesses and backplates, and buoyancy systems for bigger divers. You can also browse our complete scuba gear that fits collection for other equipment selected with larger and hard-to-fit divers in mind.

The amount of weight a diver needs depends on factors such as exposure protection, cylinder type, equipment configuration, body composition and water conditions. FGSS focuses on giving divers practical options for distributing the weight they need while maintaining comfort, trim and control underwater.
