The ballast is used to offset the positive buoyancy of the suit, and usually consists of a belt, fastened with a device which allows the quick release, which are hooked to the metal components furniture (sometimes covered with rubber, plastic or silicone) with a variable weight (1 kg or 1 / 2 kg).
The belt can be of two types, simple or pocket. In simple
belt must enter the same by passing the leads between the slots, while the pocket is easier to use: just insert the traditional lead (Or bags of lead shot) in the appropriate pockets.
The number of weights varies depending on the characteristics of the diver, the type of changes and where you are immersed in water (salt or fresh). Lead has a side shaped so that it adheres perfectly to the body, while mounted on the contrary it may cause bruising.
The choice should be made according to certain characteristics:
possibility of quick release buckle;
easy adjustment of the circumference;
stable fixation of the leads. It is also important
proper weighing, too many weights will make diving much more negative way these great difficulty in moving. Conversely, a few weights make good sub and thus risk, during ascent, an ascent .
