Scuba Weight Belt with Detachable 4 Pockets, Quick-Release Buckle Diving Pocket Weight Starp, Adjustable Snorkeling Weight Pouch Belt fit for Waist 32" to 52" (Not Included Weights)

I bought this and planned to use it for my lobstering trip to the keys, but I got injured the day of the trip and couldn't get my injury wet for the entire trip. However, someone else used it and it worked great for them. I can't recall if he said the buckle was a PITA or not, but i seem to recall him possibly saying that, so I gave 4 stars. Next time I talk to him, I'll find out and edit review accordingly.Now, I bought just this belt, and no weights, because I came to find the cost of dive weights and lead weights in general is ridiculous. What ended up happening was I found two women's dumbbells in a pawn shop. The dumbbells each had 6 small one pound weights on them (3 on each side). I bought the dumbbells set for $18 total. They worked out perfectly and provided 12lbs of total weight (in one lb increments) for $18, and the weights fit in the pouches just fine. Very satisfied with the dumbbells purchase and the decision yo use them as weights. My buddy that used the belt for his first time free diving, told me it worked perfectly and was very much needed, just like I told him it was.

Fill only the pockets you need with ZipLock bags of sand or your lead/steel weights and remove the rest to achieve slightly positive buoyancy in any situation.

Purchased for a week of diving in the keys. Weight bags started to come apart on the 3rd day. One fell off the belt and the others are all split and not usable after the week. Belt is ok but the pouches are junk.

Only thing I think it should add is a few more clips to keep pockets in place. Only comes with 1 for 4 pockets.

Item as described.

The weight pouches tear/rip easily which could result in the weight slipping off and you owing the lake a big fee for lost weights! Blessedly, my sons fellow dive buddy saw it ripping off and they monkeyed it underwater but it did not last past 1 dive.
