We place weights around our waist and equally on our right and left sides so that our weight is balanced. We put on the belt with the buckle in our left hand and the free end in our right, and tightly close the buckle to avoid it slipping down or around our waist.
Adjusting The Weights
After putting on our snorkel set, wet suit and weight belt, see if you can float. If, upon inhaling, you are at eye level and, upon exhaling, you sink to the top of your head, your weighting is suitable. Overweighting is dangerous and to be avoided.
