Most of the weights sold at
Deep-Six are from Sea Pearls. They are a leading manufacturer of lead weights
and offer the diver an excellent product. Some of the reasons for selecting
their products are:
Sea Pearls adds alloys to their lead to prevent deforming. Their lead is 6 times harder than pure lead!
The weights are guaranteed to be accurate. Even the vinyl-coated weights are weighed before the vinyl-coating is applied.
All the lace-thru weights are contoured on a 9" radius.
All edges are rounded
There are a variety of styles and sizes to choose from. The vinyl-coatings are chemically bonded making them extremely tough and long-lasting.
These Pass-Thru weights come in 9 bright colors, and 4 convenient sizes. The yellow one is a 2 lb; the red one is a 3 lb; and the blue one is a 5 lb.. Not shown is the 4 lb. weight. Any of the weights come in any of the colors!
PRICE: $2.00 PER POUND
These are the Sea Pearls' Soft Weights.
They are lead shot in nylon mesh bags. The lead shot used is new and not
that reclaimed from shooting ranges that may be as much as 33% lead oxide.
Also, there is no graphite that is put on shotgun lead, preventing equipment
stains. The nylon mesh containers allow water to drain, and allow the shot
to dry in the air reducing oxidation. The mesh bag is double-stitched so
it will withstand heavy use. Number 4 shot is used to provide comfort, yet
each is large enough to offer less surface area for breakdown of the lead.
The bags come in 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 lbs.
PRICE: $2.00 PER POUND
Lace-Thru weights are the top-selling
weights. The Sea Pearls Lace-Thru have no sharp edges protecting you and
your equipment. The "exclusive" non-glare matt finish - a Sea Pearls trademark
- resists scratching year after year. The weights may be cleaned easily with
a soapy steel pad. The vinyl will not chip, crack, or separate. These weights
come in the same 9 colors as mentioned above. The colors are fade-resistant,
bright, and royal blue, black,
navy blue, yellow,
red, gray,
neon yellow,
neon
pink, and neon green.

Or, to make your own weights: 
The mold to the left is capable of producing weights that are up to 5 pounds. The one on the right produces weights up to 15 pounds each. The larger mold makes contoured weights that will fit the diver's hip better. The way you produce weights of different sizes is to pour more or less molten lead into the mold. Call us if you need exect directions on producing your own weights.
