Short Product Summary
The Holdfast Weight Belt is a 50mm-wide, 1.5-metre stainless steel belt for open water diving, used to carry weight that offsets the buoyancy of a wetsuit. It suits divers who want to spread that weight evenly around the waist rather than bunching it at the buckle.
Why This Product
A wetsuit displaces water and pulls a diver upward, and getting that buoyancy wrong makes every dive harder work than it needs to be. This belt's 1.5-metre length gives room to spread weight around the waist instead of clustering it at one point, so a diver stays trim and comfortable through a long dive rather than fighting to stay down.
Key Features
- 50mm-wide stainless steel strap – built for the load of carrying dive weight
- 1.5-metre length – gives room to spread weight evenly around the waist instead of bunching it at the buckle
- Corrosion-resistant stainless build – made to handle repeated saltwater dives
- Adjustable fit – the length suits most waist sizes plus the weight added
Ideal For
- Open water divers who need extra weight to offset the buoyancy of a wetsuit.
- Divers who prefer weight spread evenly since the 1.5-metre length avoids bunching it all at the buckle.
- Anyone diving regularly in salt water as the stainless steel build is made to resist corrosion from repeated dives.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes
This belt is one size, so check these points before you order:
- The right amount of lead comes down to your build, your wetsuit's thickness and whether you'll be out in the sea or in fresh water; a heavier suit floats you more, so it calls for extra weight to get down.
- Try a buoyancy test in shallow water before your first proper dive with a new weight load.
- Give the belt a rinse in clean water once you're back from a sea dive, then leave it to dry somewhere shaded, away from grit that could wear the buckle.
Complete Your Setup
Secure your dive kit for the trip with tie-down and ratchet straps, or add a roof rack if you're heading to the coast with boards or a boat.
FAQ
How much weight should I use?
It comes down to your build, your wetsuit's thickness and whether you're in the sea or in fresh water — a heavier suit floats more, so it needs extra lead to sink. A quick buoyancy test in shallow water is worth doing first.
What is the belt made from?
50mm-wide stainless steel, 1.5 metres long.
How do I look after it?
Give it a rinse in clean water once you're back from a sea dive, leave it to dry out of the sun, and keep it flat or in a loose coil rather than folded tightly, which strains the buckle.
Will it fit my waist?
The 1.5-metre length suits most waist sizes plus the weight you add. Ask us if you're unsure.
