TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
Why use a flexible belt when freediving?
The deeper you go, the more the pressure increases. The air in the lungs of the freediver compresses and his waistline decreases under pressure. With a static belt, used in scuba diving for example, the weighting may start to shift. With a flexible belt, the ballast stays in position around the waist.
What has an influence on weighting?
1/ Your physiology (weight) and your body mass index (weight/size). 2/ water: buoyancy is greater in seawater (you need more weights) than in fresh water. 3/ Your diving suit: you float more or less depending on the thickness of the neoprene (the thicker the neoprene, the more you float).
