You have two options to adjust the Halcyon Active Control Ballast System weight pockets. One option allows you to place the pockets vertically. Both systems can hold a maximum weight up to 2,6kg. The system has an Active Control Ballast (ACB), which can be adjusted to suit your needs. You need to ensure your equipment is safe and effective.
Trim your weight
The Halcyon tank-mounted Weight Pockets have a new feature called Trim. It allows divers to move up to 10 pounds. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. The pockets also counterbalance the buoyant effect of nearly-empty cylinders. With a weight pocket, a diver can enjoy more bottom time, reduce effort, and maximize their enjoyment while diving.
Active Control Ballast, 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 allow for quick access to weights and prevent accidental lead weight loss.
Mounting on a bottle strap
The new Halcyon tank-mounted trim weight pockets promote optimal weight distribution, comfort and stability while diving. They also help reduce effort, encourage in-water stability, and encourage the heads-up position. Mounted on tanks, the pockets allow you to easily balance the weight of your tank cylinder for optimal in water stability. These are some of the benefits and disadvantages of tank-mounted weight pocket.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket from the manufacturer is an ingenious invention. This pocket promotes optimal weight distribution as well as comfortable in-water stability. This feature can be used by divers to transfer weight from their waists to their cylinders, improving horizontal trim as well as propulsion. Divers can get more out of their dives by increasing their bottom time. In addition to the positive effects of shifting weight from the waist onto the cylinders, Halcyon's Trim Weight Pockets counteract negative effects of near empty cylinders. They reduce effort required for divers to maintain their head and keep them horizontal.
Cost
Halcyon Weight Pockets are a great choice if you're looking to improve your diving or just want to evenly distribute your weight. These pockets can be slipped over the tank's cam bands, and offer a safe place to store additional weight. These pockets can hold between 5lbs and 5kg of ballast, depending on which tank you are using. These weight pockets are priced differently by brands, but they are worth every penny.
