Ankl Weights™
A diver’s gear (wet suit, fins, B.C., tank, weights and regulator) can weigh anywhere from 40 to 70 pounds. The bulk of this weight is in the middle of your body – while over half of your buoyancy is below the waist. Reduce leg and fin buoyancy and alleviate back stress by wearing Durward Ankl Weights™.

Before you leave, lay out all your dive gear and position items in relation to how you will wear them. Starting with the last item you will need, begin packing your bag. Wrap your fins in a towel and pack flat on the bottom or side of your bag. Always pack your mask, regulator, dive computer and other sensitive equipment in their protective cases.
