Seasoft Ankle Weights, Black

Quick answer: Seasoft Ankle Weights, Black are soft, strap-on weights that fix floaty feet and help you hold a flat, level trim underwater. Fat Guy Scuba Supply lists them through our Scuba.com affiliate partnership, and you complete the purchase at Scuba.com.

Why divers use ankle weights

If your legs keep drifting up toward the surface, you end up kicking harder just to stay level. That burns air, wears you out and stirs up the bottom. It happens a lot with drysuits, thick neoprene boots, buoyant fins and long legs. A small amount of weight at the ankles pulls your feet back down, so your body lines up in the water instead of fighting it.

Seasoft's soft-weight design is easier on your body than hard lead. The weights wrap around your ankle and close securely, so they stay put through entries, exits and long kicking cycles.

Who they help most

• Drysuit divers who get air trapped in the legs and feet
• Tall divers whose long legs throw off their trim
• Divers wearing thick boots or buoyant fins
• Anyone working on horizontal trim and better air consumption

Before ordering

Check the retailer’s product details for the exact weight options and sizing. Start light. Most divers only need a small amount at the ankles, and adding too much can tip you the other way.

Usage notes

Confirm the straps fit over your boots or drysuit. Do a weight and trim check in shallow water or a pool, and adjust your total weighting so you stay properly weighted at your safety stop.

FGSS take: If your feet float, don't just kick harder. A little weight in the right spot can make diving feel easier and more relaxed.
