Which weight pockets would fit the Mako rubber belt?

[tursiops]

Any weight pocket you can put on a normal belt (or cam strap) will work fine.
I'd look for four pockets so 3 or 4lb weights can be used to spread the weight out a bit.
Examples:

In cold water I found that running the belt through all my lead shortened the belt significantly. I want to avoid that.
Thanks

If someone wants to shorten one of our belts, it should take 10 seconds and a sharp pair of scissors. Screwing weights to the belt is probably not advisable.

He needs a longer belt as when you thread on normal block weights the belt gets shorter
and he can't spend any more money

A screw through the belt into the lead to keep everything in place evenly around the waist is a brilliant idea

and brilliant in practice too

The quick attach and slide on weight pockets tend to move around the belt if they aren't held in place. The belt keeper/retainers can be used to hold the pockets in place, but they will also shorten the length of the belt a bit.

This could be a good way of holding them in place on the belt, but still allowing adjustment:

Trim Pocket Anti-slide Keeper

I'm not sure this is truly "DIY", it's more a simple trick to stop trim pockets from sliding about on your harness, belt or cam bands between dives. Useful if you don't want to splash cash on the fancy trim pockets with sewn in keepers. 1. Cut a section of 50mm bicycle inner tube ±5mm...

Second, these are the ones I always used with my Mako belts.
Specifically the 2nd one and the 4th one. The 2nd went in the back and the 4th towards the front mounted upside down. I sometimes had to take a weight and give to a student even with a proper check. Having it mounted upside down made that quick. The pocket secures with velcro and the little quick clip. Set up like this for over 400 dives I never had an accidental release of the weight.
And yes, in a drysuit, threading standard weights on will shorten it considerably. I didn't use the pinch weights because, as an instructor, I wanted to be able to swap weights quickly depending on the need.

Thanks. The 4th one looks good.
I have the first one and the slots are tight. I struggle threading can bands though them. The rubber would not work.
Much appreciated
