Premium Coated Lead Blocks
Our collection of hard lead blocks is defined by one standard: the VK Pro Shield coating. Unlike standard plastic coatings that crack and crumble, our specialized vinyl finish offers a soft-touch grip and superior impact resistance. It protects the lead, your display shelves, and—most importantly—the diver’s equipment.
From standard belt weights to ergonomic vest blocks and precision tech weights: discover the most durable lead in the industry.
Standard Lead Blocks (Coated) – VK Pro Shield
Protection:
The vinyl coating protects the lead block from corrosion and damage, extending its lifespan and maintaining its quality.
Safety:
The coating reduces the risk of scratches and sharp edges, increasing safety during handling and transport.
Environmentally friendly:
The vinyl coating reduces the release of lead particles into the water, contributing to a cleaner and healthier diving environment.
Comfort:
The smooth texture of the vinyl coating makes the lead blocks easier to handle and carry, even during long dives.
All in all, these features make our vinyl-coated lead blocks an excellent choice for divers seeking durability, safety, and comfort.

- VK Pro Shield Coating: Feels soft to the touch but is impact-resistant. Prevents lead oxidation (white powder) on your shop shelves.

SPARE BLOCKS (CLIP-ON)
Precision Weight:
Weighing 1 kg, these reserve blocks offer precise and detailed buoyancy adjustment. This allows divers to control their buoyancy with extreme precision.
Durability of Stainless Steel:
The stainless steel eyelet contributes to the durability of the reserve blocks. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and wear, extending their lifespan, even in saltwater environments.
Versatile Attachment Options:
The stainless steel eyelet allows for various attachment options, such as attaching carabiners, lines, or other accessories. This allows divers to use the reserve blocks flexibly and versatilely in their diving gear.
Convenient as a Spare Weight:
These reserve blocks can serve as a backup weight that can be easily added or removed depending on diving conditions, the equipment used, or the diver’s personal preferences.
In short, the 1 kg reserve blocks in black and yellow with a stainless steel eyelet offer divers a combination of precision, durability, and versatility for optimal buoyancy control.
Why stock this?
- Precision Control: Allows divers to add/remove 1kg quickly without opening their belt.
- Stainless Steel Durability: Unlike cheaper alternatives with galvanized wire, our eyelets do not rust in saltwater.
- High Visibility: Available in High-Vis Yellow for easy underwater identification (or standard Black).

Many suppliers use standard lead shot which oxidizes, creating a white powder that dirties your shop and customers’ hands. We manufacture our soft lead in-house using nickel-plated lead. This remains 100% clean and oxidation-free, forever.
This is our specialized coating for hard lead blocks. Unlike cheap plastic coatings that crack and crumble, VK Pro Shield feels soft to the touch but is extremely impact-resistant. It protects both the lead and the diver’s equipment.
Our B2B pricing is exclusively available for diving professionals: dive shops, schools, distributors, and industrial clients (such as yacht builders or government services). We do not sell directly to consumers on this platform. Visit our B2C shop loodvoorduiken.nl
