You have two options to adjust the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System weight pockets. The second option allows you vertical placement of the pockets. Each system can hold up to 2,6kg. You can adjust the system to fit your weight and it has an integrated Active Control Ballast system (ACB). You need to ensure your equipment is safe and effective.
Reduce weight
The Halcyon tank mount weight pockets now have a Trim weight pocket. It allows divers to move up to 10 pounds. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. Pockets counteract the buoyant effects of almost empty cylinders. A weight pocket allows divers to enjoy more bottom time, less effort and maximize their enjoyment when diving.
Active Control Ballast, integrated system
The ACB vertically integrated weight system can hold up five pounds of weight per pouch. This design allows for easy release and placement, and doesn't take up much space on a diver’s waist belt. For added safety and versatility, an Explorer Light System can also be attached to the ACB pocket. In addition, side release buckles prevent accidental lead weight loss and allow quick access to weights when needed.
Mounting on bottle strap
The new Halcyon tank mounted trim weight pockets increase weight distribution and encourage comfort and stability while scuba diving. They are also designed to reduce effort, increase in-water stability, and encourage head-up. The pockets are mounted on the tank and allow for easy balance of the cylinder to ensure optimal in-water stability. Here are some pros and cons of tank-mounted weight pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket from the manufacturer is an ingenious invention. It allows for optimal weight distribution and promotes comfort in the water. This feature allows divers to shift weight from their waist to the cylinder, improving propulsion and horizontal trim. Divers can extend their bottom time, increasing enjoyment of the dive. The Halcyon trim weight pockets provide positive benefits beyond moving weight from waist to cylinder. These pockets counteract the negative effect of near-empty containers and decrease the effort required by divers to maintain their horizontal position and head.
Prices
Halcyon weight pouches are an excellent option for divers looking to improve their diving performance and/or to distribute weight evenly. These pockets slip over the tank’s cam bands and give you a secure place to add weight. These pockets can hold from 5lbs to 5kg depending on the tank that you use. They are highly affordable and the cost of Halcyon Weight Pockets will vary from one brand to another.
