Halcyon Active Control Ballast 20

- Popular with instructors who are sensitive to the complete loss of a diver's weight and who resist integrated weights that prevent practicing emergency weight removal
-
Divers experiencing buoyancy problems can release part of their weight, eliminating a rapid ascent from the loss of an entire weight belt
- The streamlined ACB 20 and ACB 12

More than half of all diving fatalities occur at the surface. Sadly, most divers believe that jacket-style BCs provide proper surface floatation when, in fact, a divers surface position principally relates to their weight distribution. A nearly empty aluminum cylinder will usually float an unconscious diver face-down regardless of the BC worn. However, the Halcyon Trim Weighting Kit promotes heads-up surface airway protection by counteracting the positive tendency of buoyant cylinders.
- Shifting weight from a diver's waist toward their center, such as with a stainless Halcyon Backplate or trim weight system, facilitates horizontal diver trim and reduces drag
- Up to five pounds of weight can be attached to your tank with each streamlined trim weight pocket

V-Weights
Explorers have utilized this unique weighting system for years, yet the inconvenient nature of its construction has made it all but unavailable in the dive community. Now available from Halcyon, this integrated weight system allows double tank divers to reduce the need for bulky hip weights. The V-Weight mounts between manifolded cylinders to provide precise weighting, allowing you to carry the minimum removable weight to facilitate a swimming ascent.
Available in 11 lbs. and 8 lbs. sizes |

Weighted Single Tank Adapter
Yet another tool that allows you to get weight off your weight belt, the Halcyon Weighted Single Tank Adapter provides six pounds of non-releasable ballast between you and your single cylinder rig. The Weighted STA works with all Halcyon backplate designs. The Weighted STA is pictured above on the left, in comparison to our standard STA. |
