The Halcyon Active Control Ballast System offers two options for positioning and adjusting your weight pockets. One option allows you to place the pockets vertically. 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. To maximize your gear's safety and effectiveness, it is important to select the right weight pockets.
Trim weight pocket
A Trim weight pocket, a revolutionary new feature in the Halcyon tank mounted weight pockets, is now available. It allows divers the ability to shift up 10 lb. To increase in-water stability, horizontal trim and reduce gas consumption, the pockets can be attached to their cylinder. They also counterbalance buoyant effects caused by nearly empty cylinders. A weight pocket can help divers enjoy more bottom-time, decrease effort, and maximize their enjoyment of diving.
Active Control Ballast (ACB) integrated system
The ACB, which is a vertically-integrated and releasable system for weight management, can hold up 5 lbs of weight 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. The ACB pocket can have an Explorer Light System installed behind it for added versatility and safety. Side release buckles are designed to prevent lead weight loss by allowing quick access to weights when necessary.
Mounting on bottle strap
The Halcyon new tank-mounted trimweight pockets allow for optimal weight distribution. They also promote comfort and stability during diving. They also encourage the heads-up position, reduce effort, and in-water stability. The pockets, whether mounted on the tank or not, make it simple to balance your cylinder's mass for optimal in-water stability. Here are some benefits and drawbacks to tank-mounted weigh pockets.
Heads-up surface airway protection
The Halcyon Trim Weight Pocket, a new invention by the manufacturer, is a great innovation. It promotes in-water stability and weight distribution. Divers who use this feature report that they are able to move weight from their waist into their cylinder. This improves horizontal trim and propulsion. Divers can extend their bottom time, increasing enjoyment of the dive. 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 pocket is a great choice, whether you want to improve your diving performance or simply keep your weight evenly distributed. These pockets slide over the tank's cam bands and provide a secure location to add additional weight. These pockets can hold up to 5 lbs of ballast depending on what tank you have. They are highly affordable and the cost of Halcyon Weight Pockets will vary from one brand to another.
