6 pound weight pockets.

[NautilusCairns]

Does anyone make a weight pocket that just takes 6 lbs ( 2X3lb weiights)?

I only need a total of 12lbs and I prefer ditchable weights to a weight belt. I have a pair of scubapro Xtek pockets but they are huge. The Diverite 16lb pockets ( 2X 8lb) look OK but still a little big. All the smaller ones seem to just take one weight.

Appreciate any advice.

Why don't you spread out your weight a bit? 4 lbs (2 x 2lbs) in cam band pockets and the rest at your waist, maybe?

Seasoft Scuba makes some “Tactical Trim Pockets”. They hold 5 pounds each and are ditchable weights.

I could however If I'm diving from a small boat I prefer to hand back my weights before taking off the BC/BPW in the water and then passing that up to the crew. I would rather make the BC/BPW as light as possible before doing that.

Thanks however there aren't any 6 lb pockets here, either 4 lb or 8 lb.

Thanks but no pocket that can take a couple of 3 lb lead weights.

The XS Scuba trim weight pockets claim to be able to hold a 5# weight. I don't think it would hold 2 x 3#, but, it seems like worst case you could put a 5# in each and a 1# in each of your non-ditchable weight pockets. An extra 2# in your BCD is not going to matter to the boat crew.

Or you could just spend $5 on a buckle (from DGX) and a piece of 2" webbing, make your own weight belt, and use that. Take the whole belt off and hand it to the crew.

Sorry...I did not read your post well. I was think 2 x 3 pounds total. You meant 2 x 3 pounds for each pocket.
