How to wear Freedive and Spearfishing weight belts!

We wanted to answer a few questions we get a lot at the shop: "How do I wear a weight belt, and how much weight do I need?"
So in this video we go over basically everything you need to know to get started. Mahalo!

Weird question warning! I want to easily add weight to a guitar strap while I'm seated and then remove the weight when I play while standing.
Here are my questions: 1. What is the widest opening on lace through style diving weights? I saw some coated weights online, and they listed the openings at 1.92 inches wide. The most narrow guitar straps are usually about two inches wide. 2. Is there any room in the openings for a reasonably thin, two inch wide cloth strap to curl up on the edges and still fit through the openings in the weight?
I want to slip a diving weight over a guitar strap at the bottom end of my bass guitar to pull it down and pitch the neck upward, so that I don't have to support any of the neck weight with my fretting hand.
You have to admit, it is kind of funny that I'm asking a diving professional about diving weights in order to solve a problem which guitarists call "neck dive". 😂

Yeah most of these dive belts are max 2 inches. The coated dive leads slide on and off fairly easy although it as easy as uncoated. Hope that helps

@westsidedivetackle3894 Thanks! It's worth a try. If worse comes to worst, I'll just get some sturdy cloth and sew a bag around it, and then I'll sew a wide loop onto the bag.
As a lifelong technician, I will never understand some of the crap that design and engineering teams produce. Product Development: "What's the word from our market testing?" Marketing: "Well, most of our test subjects really liked the sound of our newest guitar line, but they complained that if they let go of the necks for a split second, the headstocks will immediately dive straight into the floor. These new models are horribly unbalanced, Sir."
Product Development: "Great! So, how soon will we start manufacturing and shipping them?"
