Weights are a necessary component of dive gear as most divers are naturally buoyant. The amount and type of weights needed depend on the individual diver as well as their own personal preferences.

The Scuba Shop's selection of soft pouch weights are hand-made by Arrow Weights, a family-owned business in Oregon that has been manufacturing dive gear for over 40 years. Each pouch is individually filled with recycled lead that is melted and formed into shot beads before being hand-sewn into its water-resistant Cordura® 1000 Denier nylon pouch. No weak mesh pouches here!

Soft pouch weights are popular with many scuba divers due to the fact that they can conform to your body, making them more comfortable than hard weights--not to mention that soft weights also don't hurt as much if you drop them on your bare foot! ;) Divers also enjoy the versatility of soft weights because they can be more versatile than hard weights as they can be moved from your BC's weight pocket to around your tank or ankles if needed.
