Two ways can the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System position and adjust your weight pockets. One option allows for vertical placement. Each system can hold up to 2,6kg. The system can be adjusted to hold the weight you want, and has an integrated Active Control Ballast (ACB) system. You need to ensure your equipment is safe and effective.
Trim your weight
A Trim weight pocket, a revolutionary new feature in the Halcyon tank mounted weight pockets, is now available. It allows divers the ability to shift up 10 lb. to their cylinder for improved in-water stability, horizontal trim, and reduced gas consumption. The pockets also counterbalance the buoyant effect of nearly-empty cylinders. With a weight pocket, a diver can enjoy more bottom time, reduce effort, and maximize their enjoyment while diving.
Active Control Ballast (ACB) integrated system
The ACB can store up to 5 pounds of weight in each pocket. It is vertically integrated and easily releasable. This design allows for easy release and placement, and doesn't take up much space on a diver’s waist belt. To increase safety and versatility, the ACB can be fitted with an Explorer Light System. Side release buckles prevent accidental lead weight gain and permit quick access when required.
Mounting on bottle strap
Halcyon's new tank-mounted trim weight pockets encourage optimal weight distribution and promote comfort and stability while diving. They also help reduce effort, encourage in-water stability, and encourage the heads-up position. The pockets can be mounted on the tank or in the water column. They make it easy for you to balance your cylinder's weight for maximum in-water stability. Here are some benefits and drawbacks to tank-mounted weigh pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket was an innovative invention by the manufacturer. It allows for optimal weight distribution and promotes comfort in the water. The feature helps divers move their weight from the waist to their bladder, improving horizontal trims and propulsion. This feature can increase the enjoyment of diving by extending bottom time. Additionally to moving weight from the waist into the cylinder, Halcyon Trim-Weight Pockets reduce the negative effects of nearly empty cylinders. The pockets also make it easier to maintain the head and maintain horizontal position.
Cost
Halcyon Weight Pockets are a great choice if you're looking to improve your diving or just want to evenly distribute your weight. 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.
