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 are designed to hold a maximum weight of 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 weight pocket
The Halcyon tank-mounted Weight Pockets have a new feature called Trim. It allows divers up to 10 lb. It allows divers to shift up to 10 lb. Pockets counteract the buoyant effects of almost empty cylinders. Divers can have more bottom time, make less effort, and enjoy diving more.
Active Control Ballast is integrated into the system
The ACB vertically integrated weight system can hold up five pounds of weight per pouch. This design allows for easy release and placement, and doesn't take up much space on a diver’s waist belt. For added safety and versatility, an Explorer Light System can also be attached to the ACB pocket. Side release buckles protect accidental lead weight loss and provide quick access to weights if needed.
Mounting on a bottle band
New tank-mounted trim pockets from Halcyon encourage optimal weight distribution and promote comfort while diving. They also help reduce effort, encourage in-water stability, and encourage the heads-up position. The pockets, whether mounted on the tank or not, make it simple to balance your cylinder's mass 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. The feature helps divers move their weight from the waist to their bladder, improving horizontal trims and propulsion. Divers can enjoy a longer bottom time and a greater enjoyment from the dive. Additionally to moving weight from the waist into the cylinder, Halcyon Trim-Weight Pockets reduce the negative effects of nearly empty cylinders. The pockets also make it easier to maintain the head and maintain horizontal position.
Cost
Halcyon weight pouches are an excellent option for divers looking to improve their diving performance and/or to distribute weight evenly. These pockets are designed to slide over tanks' cam bands and allow you to securely add weight. These pockets can hold from 5lbs to 5kg depending on the tank that you use. The cost of Halcyon weight pockets will vary from brand to brand, but they are well worth the price.
