Northern Diver Ankle Weights
This pair of Northern Diver Ankle Weights weights are designed to reduce leg and fin buoyancy and minimise back stress for a safer, more comfortable dive. Ankle weights are an important part of a diver’s total weighting system. If your legs are too high, then there will be increased drag. When your legs are too high, this will slow you down and cause fatigue. Correct your position with these Northern Diver Ankle Weights.
Why use ankle weights?
Divers frequently require ankle weights because the legs of a drysuit are filled with air. The result is that the legs want to float up automatically so ankle weights add negative buoyancy to the ankles and help bring the legs down into a correct horizontal position.
The soft outer shell allows for a comfortable fit around the ankles.
