Apollo Scuba Diving Ankle Weights – Pair | 500g & 750g

Improve your underwater trim and enjoy a more balanced diving position with Apollo Scuba Diving Ankle Weights. Designed to reduce excessive leg and fin buoyancy, these comfortable lead-shot ankle weights help divers fine-tune weight distribution without adding more weight around the waist.

They are particularly useful for drysuit divers, where trapped air in the legs and boots can cause the feet to rise. Adding a small amount of weight around the ankles can help bring the legs into a more natural horizontal position, improving streamlining and reducing unnecessary fin effort.

Each ankle weight features a soft, flexible outer construction filled with lead shot, allowing it to comfortably conform around the ankle. A durable side-release buckle provides secure fastening while remaining quick and easy to release when required.

Available in 500g or 750g per ankle, Apollo Ankle Weights are supplied as a pair so you can select the amount of additional lower-body weight that best suits your diving configuration.

Why Use Ankle Weights for Scuba Diving?

Some divers naturally experience buoyant legs or fins, which can make maintaining a streamlined horizontal position more difficult. This is particularly common when wearing a drysuit because air can migrate towards the lower legs and boots.

Correctly positioned ankle weights add a small amount of negative buoyancy close to the feet, helping counteract this upward force. Better trim can reduce drag, improve finning efficiency and make it easier to maintain a comfortable diving position.

The Apollo Scuba Diving Ankle Weights are a practical choice for divers who want greater control over their overall weighting system without simply adding more weight to their belt or BCD.
