Were constantly looking to expand and improve our gear selection. One of our more recent additions is vinyl covered weights. These 2-lb weights are bright yellow- they are much more visible to your partner when you wear them on the back of your weight belt.
Being able to keep visual contact with your buddy who is (freedive) spearfishing to the limits of visibility is very important this allows you to keep track of a diver who would otherwise be invisible if he is wearing a camo or dark colored wetsuit. Often, the only thing you can see from the surface are the yellow weights.
This is one small item that has the potential to provide a BIG improvement in safety - when diving with a buddy.
The vinyl prevents the weights from marking up the boat deck and they may be a little nicer if dropped on the deck as well.

MAKO FREE REPLACEMENT/SAFETY POLICY
To our valued customers: MAKO Spearguns recognizes that diving (both freediving and SCUBA) are potentially dangerous activities. We have all heard of tragic accidents where a diver is found on the bottom while still wearing a weight belt. We hope and pray that should any of our customers find themselves in a situation where ditching a belt may be necessary, that there is no delay and the belt is dropped immediately.
In many situations a belt is recoverable, however if your MAKO Spearguns belt and lead and/or Hi Vis Safety Diving Weights are ditched (and lost) in a true emergency . MAKO will replace them at our cost.
The last thing we want is our customers considering the cost of a lost belt in an emergency. The only thing we ask is that the individual shares with us (and our friends and customers) some sort of write-up about how the situation developed and how it was resolved. That way, we can all learn and be reminded to keep safety in the forefront of our minds.
