Item Description
Freedive Weight Belt (Silicone) with Quick Release
The MAKO Silicone Freedive Weight Belts are the best freedive weight belts for the most demanding freedive instuctors, freedive competitors and high level spearfishermen.
More stretch than rubber freedive belts
The exceptional elasticity of the MAKO Silicone weight belts actually increase your breath holds and dive times by allowing you to maximize your diaphragmatic breath up.
The MAKO silicone freedive weight belt performs at depth as it contracts well during depth compression, thus keeping your freediving weight belt and weights tight and secured to your body on deep dives.
The 100% stainless steel, quick release buckle on our freedive weight belt allows for fast and easy ditching in an emergency.
One size fits all! Pre drilled holes allow for custom trimming to divers desired required length.
Our freedive weight belts accept all standard lead weights. However, with some vinyl coated weights, the slit is not wide enough to accept a rubber freedive weight belt. However the MAKO vinyl coated weights are custom made for rubber or silicone freedive weight belts and are quite popular.
NOTE: Install your lead before trimming. But, don’t trim too much! For safety reasons, I leave at least 15 inches of excess overhang. This is so my dive buddy and I can easily remove my weight belt in an emergency.
NOTE: Install your lead before trimming. Silicone belt is 53 inches long and can be cut to size.
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 weights or belt reel are ditched (and lost) in a diving emergency…. I will replace it free of charge.
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.
Dive safe,

Optional Black D-Ring is used for attaching spearfishing accessories
The optional color matched weight belt crotch strap keeps your weights in place (positioned low around the hips) and prevents your weight belt from sliding towards your torso when you are upside down during descents.
The MAKO Spearguns Brass Double Ender is perfect for attaching accessories in and out of the water.
