Two ways can the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System position and adjust your weight pockets. The other option is to place the pockets vertically. Both systems can hold a maximum of 2,6kg. The system is adjustable to your desired weight, and includes an Active Control Ballast (ACB). It is crucial to choose the right weight pockets for your cycling gear in order to maximize safety and effectiveness.
Trim weight pocket
The Halcyon tank-mounted Weight Pockets have a new feature called Trim. It allows divers up to 10 lb. The pockets allow divers to shift up 10 lb. The buoyant effect from nearly empty cylinders can also be counterbalanced with the pockets. A weight pocket can help divers enjoy more bottom-time, decrease effort, and maximize their enjoyment of diving.
Active Control Ballast (ACB) integrated system
The ACB is a vertically integrated, releasable weight-system that can hold up to five pounds per pocket. This design makes it easy to place and release. It also doesn't take up too much space on the diver's waist belt. An Explorer Light System can attach to the ACB pockets for increased versatility and safety. Side release buckles protect accidental lead weight loss and provide quick access to weights if needed.
Mounting on bottle strap
The new Halcyon tank mounted trim weight pockets increase weight distribution and encourage comfort and stability while scuba diving. They are also designed to reduce effort, increase in-water stability, and encourage head-up. Whether mounted on the tank, the pockets make it easy to balance the weight of your cylinder for optimal in-water stability. Here are some benefits and drawbacks to tank-mounted weigh pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket is an innovative invention from the manufacturer. It supports optimal weight distribution and encourages comfortable in-water stability. The feature helps divers move their weight from the waist to their bladder, improving horizontal trims and propulsion. Divers can extend their bottom time, increasing enjoyment of the dive. In addition to the positive benefits of moving weight from the waist to the cylinder, the Halcyon Trim Weight Pockets counteract the negative effects of near-empty cylinders and reduce the amount of effort required for the diver to maintain their head and maintain a horizontal position.
Cost
Whether you're looking to enhance your diving performance, or are simply looking for a way to keep your weight evenly distributed, Halcyon weight pockets are an excellent choice. These pockets slide over the tank's cam bands and provide a secure location to add additional weight. These pockets can hold up to 5 lbs of ballast depending on what tank you have. They are highly affordable and the cost of Halcyon Weight Pockets will vary from one brand to another.
