Tungsten weights for scuba

[St John the Diver]

Not that I really care but if one were to drill a hole partly through a block of lead, fill that hole with tungsten shot followed by linguists lead, or fill the hole with liquid lead followed by heated T-shot wouldn’t it end up more dense (heavier) than the original lead block?

yes, but that’s not pouring shot into a bag.

Go to the bass fishing section of a sporting goods store. They make worm weights out of it, less than an ounce each. You string them together and make a necklace out of them. Due to their high price they get stolen quite often.

China says between $60 and $90. FOB.
MOQ of 100.
That's per Kg. And probably just a cube, I don't have a technical drawing for an actual dive weight.

So roughly 10x the cost of lead.

Bit spendy!

Neutronium shot weight pouch. You only need a single shot bead the size of a (small) grain of sand, and you'll be over-weighted a bit...

In before the "black hole" weight belt quip.

Well, at least with the neutron star shot weights your overweighting will be only half as bad after 10 minutes...

Oh my goodness... imagine trying to do weight removal & replace skills with OW students! What a nightmare!

Yes. It seems everyone but one person agrees with you. There's even been several fruit analogies presented to support just what you're suggesting.
