4kg Yellow Vinyl-Coated Lead Diving Weight
The 4kg Yellow Vinyl-Coated Lead Diving Weight is a durable, high-capacity weight designed for scuba divers who require additional ballast when diving with drysuits, thicker exposure protection or equipment configurations that demand greater weighting.
Manufactured from solid lead and finished with a tough, scratch-resistant yellow vinyl coating, this weight is designed to withstand regular use in demanding diving environments. The protective coating provides a smooth finish and helps reduce direct contact between the lead and surrounding equipment.
Its contoured shape follows the natural curvature of the body, helping improve comfort when worn on a traditional diving weight belt. Smooth, rounded corners and edges help minimise snagging, drag and interference with other scuba equipment.
The two-slot lace-through design allows the weight to be threaded directly onto standard 50mm (2-inch) scuba diving weight belt webbing. Compatible three-bar weight retainers can be used to help secure the weight in position and prevent unwanted movement during diving.

Build Your Own Diving Weight Belt
At Sussex Diving, we also supply weight belt webbing, quick-release buckles and three-bar weight retainers separately. This allows you to assemble a custom-length diving weight belt to suit your individual waist size and equipment configuration, without being restricted to standard pre-made belt lengths.
Whether you're replacing an existing weight, adjusting your weighting configuration or building a complete belt, our friendly team in Selsey, West Sussex can help you choose suitable weights and accessories.
Important: A 4kg weight provides a significant amount of ballast in one position. Always ensure your weight distribution is appropriate, your weight belt can be released effectively in an emergency and your overall weighting has been checked for your diving configuration.
Special Order Information: All diving weights are supplied to special order, with a normal lead time of approximately 5 days. Please allow for this when planning your purchase. Lead times are estimates and may vary depending on supplier availability.
