The Halcyon Active Control Ballast System has two ways to position and adjust your weight pockets. You can place the pockets vertically with one option. Both systems can hold a maximum of 2,6kg. The system can be adjusted to hold the weight you want, and has an integrated Active Control Ballast (ACB) system. The best way to maximize the safety and effectiveness your cycling gear is by choosing the right weight pockets.
Trim weight pocket
The Halcyon tank-mounted Weight Pockets have a new feature called Trim. It allows divers up to 10 lb. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. The buoyant effect of nearly empty cylinders is counterbalanced by the pockets. Divers can have more bottom time, make less effort, and enjoy diving more.
Active Control Ballast is integrated into the system
The ACB is a vertically integrated, releasable weight-system that can hold up to five pounds per pocket. This design offers easy release and placement and does not take up too much space on a diver's waist belt. The ACB pocket can have an Explorer Light System installed behind it for added versatility and safety. Side release buckles prevent accidental lead weight gain and permit quick access when required.
Mounting on a bottle strap
The Halcyon new tank-mounted trimweight pockets allow for optimal weight distribution. They also promote comfort and stability during diving. They are also designed to reduce effort, increase in-water stability, and encourage head-up. The pockets can be mounted on the tank or in the water column. They make it easy for you to balance your cylinder's weight for maximum in-water stability. Here are some pros and cons of tank-mounted weight pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket from the manufacturer is an ingenious invention. It allows for optimal weight distribution and promotes comfort in the water. Divers who use this feature find that they can move weight from their waist to their cylinder, improving horizontal trim and propulsion. Divers can get more out of their dives by increasing their bottom time. 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
Halcyon weight pouches are an excellent option for divers looking to improve their diving performance and/or to distribute weight evenly. These pockets slide over the tank's cam bands and provide a secure location to add additional weight. These pockets can hold between 5lbs and 5kg of ballast, depending on which tank you are using. While the price of Halcyon weight pocket will vary depending on brand, it is well worth it.
