Ive been thinking the Xdeep drop wieght set-up in hopes that its compatible with the Apeks plate.
I noticed the buckle is not the usual "quick release" I'm used to. I'm sure there's good reason for that, but I can also imagine boat operators (or instabuddies) not being happy with that. Obviously that's not an issue for everyone, but it would be for me.A freedive belt has some elasticity, so it stays in place and can adjust to suit compression and can also be worn low, below the diaphragm, so breathing is unrestricted.
The buckle on the Mako belt is quick release. If you pull the free end past the buckle it springs open. It's actually the other way around, lots of people that see it want one.I noticed the buckle is not the usual "quick release" I'm used to.

Yes, that's quite convincing as a demo. Thanks.This (very short) video was prepared for freedivers, but it shows the quick release option quite well
