More and more people like free diving, and required a better diving weight that is reason why the tungsten free diving weight is more and more popular.

The weight will distribute better on your waist and small adjustments in buoyancy can be made.The tungsten free diving weight belt is allow a deeper dive than the lead weight belt.Tungsten is more harder than lead, it could service longer than lead weight.Besides, the lead is toxic which would damage human health and pollute the environment. on the contrary, tungsten is non-toxic and environmental friendly.
The tungsten free diving weight belt is of simple design, with a quick release buckle. A good one will last for many years. For divers with a back problem cut a piece of rubber ¼ “x 6” x 1’ (or the width of the back of your waist) and attach it to your weight belt. The tungsten free diving weight is cut a slot (the width of the weight belt) 2” from each end in the center of the 6” width and thread the belt through it. This will allow the weights to sit on the rubber brace distributing the weight across your back giving you support.
