Abstract: A diving weight for scuba and other divers particularly designed to hold the weight in conformance to the diver's body and including a surface finish to prevent or substantially eliminate marring and scratching of the same. Belt receiving slots are provided along the length of the weight with a spacing formulation to hold the weight and maintain the attachment belt in close conformance to the user's body. The slots and weight are designed to allow the belt to pass from a recessed interior surface thereof about a recessed portion of the exterior surface and back to the interior thereof to hold the weight close to the user's body. The interior and exterior recesses of the weight allow for close conformity of the belt to the weight and the weight to the user's body. The weight is shaped with a radius on all mating surfaces to facilitate dipping and coating of the weight with a vinyl material.
