Rating: Ankle Diving Weights
Reviewer: Chris P.,
it always seemed that despite my best efforts, my feet were always higher than my head while diving. this was causing an unnatural "u" shape in my profile, and causing me back pain. this last trip, i tried the ankle weights (1# each side) that helped considerably to level out my profile, and after 18 dives (almost 19 hours underwater) i emerged from my dive vacation with no low back pain! in addition, as i didnt feel i was floating up, i was able to trim my other weights down considerably, increasing my neutrality and overall better diving! i highly recommend anyone who has low back pain while diving try out ankle weights. it worked for me! they were convenient to use and fit nicely over my boots.

Reviewer: Adair New, - View all my reviews
im one of those women whose lower body tends to float upward when trying to relax at a safety stop (not exactly attractive. these weights make it effortless to hang in vertical position yet they dont affect my horizontal balance when diving at all. i love them!

Reviewer: Kathryn R.,
I always dove with full foot fins/socks, but recently decided to get regular fins/booties. I guess the booties made my feet float a bit, so I was having "back arch" problems. I dive with only 6# of weight anyway, and didnt want to add any more around my waist. The 1# weights on each ankle were exactly what I needed. No more arching, no more fighting to stay level during safety stop. Very comfortable, easy to take with me on out of country trips.

I bought these because my new fins caused my legs to want to float away. These weights worked perfectly. They are soft, comfortable, adjustable, easy to wash and have an easy snap release. Shipping was very fast from Scuba.com

Reviewer: Julia Roberts,
These were just what I needed! As a novice diver, I was having trouble keeping the proper profile. I used these on a trip to Mexico and feel they helped alot!

Reviewer: Carolina E.,
Ive never been so confortable in my life! This weight really made a huge diffrence from my last dives. The only drawback is that I had to tie a knot on the strap according to ankle diameter so clippers wouldnt slide, but other than that... perfect!

Reviewer: Robert Pierce,
These are useful if your legs tend to float up in salt water a common problem for women. They help in keeping you in the best position for diving. I use them to help me swim at the surface as I am an oprn water swimmer and they allowed a better kick. Very comfortable to wear. Super price ansd fast shipping

"One size fits all" usually translates to "one size fits most". My current ankle weights cause me to have a little tarsal tunnel symptoms by the end of my dives. How long is the functional strap on these?

These are very adjustable. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it.
