Nickel-Plated Soft Lead
Standard soft weights are often filled with raw lead shot. Over time, this oxidizes into a dark sludge that stains diving gear and dirties your shop shelves. We set a higher standard. We use Nickel-Plated Lead Shot which is 100% corrosion-resistant. Encased in our water-permeable polypropylene mesh, these bags drain instantly and dry fast. This prevents mold, bad odors, and deterioration of the fabric.
Nickel-Plated Soft Lead Bags
Durability:
Polypropylene is durable and resistant to tearing and abrasion, ensuring a longer lifespan for the soft weight pouches, even in rough diving conditions.
Lightweight and Flexible:
The use of polypropylene makes the soft weight pouches lightweight and flexible, making them easy to handle and comfortable to wear during diving.
Water Permeability:
The water-permeable design of the polypropylene allows water to easily pass through the soft weight pouches, allowing them to dry quickly and reduce weight after a dive.
Environmentally Friendly:
Polypropylene is a recyclable material, making the soft weight pouches an environmentally friendly choice for divers concerned about their carbon footprint.
With their combination of nickel-plated soft weight and water-permeable polypropylene, soft weight pouches are an essential part of diving equipment, offering divers the benefits of durability, functionality, and environmental friendliness.
Key Features
Oxidation Free: Nickel-plating prevents corrosion in saltwater. Keeps your shop shelves and rental gear clean.
Quick-Dry Mesh: The water-permeable polypropylene fabric allows water to drain instantly, preventing mold and bad odors.
School-Proof Build: Double-stitched seams and abrasion-resistant fabric ensure a long lifespan, even with daily rental use.

Soft Lead Ankle Weights (Comfort Fit)
Durability
The soft lead ankle strap is double-stitched for added strength and reliability, allowing divers to rely on its long-lasting performance, even under demanding conditions.
Safety During the Dive
The additional Velcro over the closure provides a neat finish and prevents divers from accidentally kicking the Velcro off during the dive, which is essential for a safe and uninterrupted diving experience.
Comfortable and Adjustable
Thanks to the strong and flexible Velcro, the ankle strap can be easily tightened and secured around the ankle, allowing divers to create a comfortable and snug fit that suits their individual needs.
With these features, the nickel-plated soft lead ankle strap offers divers a combination of stability, ease of use, safety, and comfort, making it an indispensable accessory for a successful diving experience.
Key Features:
Secure Lock: A secondary Velcro layer ensures the strap never gets kicked loose underwater.
Trim & Stability: Helps prevent “floaty feet” in drysuits and improves horizontal trim.
Comfort Fit: The soft lead contours perfectly to the ankle, unlike rigid hard lead anklets.

Adjustable Neck Weight (Apnea/Freedive)
Safety:
Our neck soft weight strap is designed with maximum safety in mind for apnea divers. A convenient side opening allows divers to precisely adjust the amount of soft weight in the neck strap, allowing them to control their buoyancy and dive more safely.
Durability:
Durability is central to our design. The neck strap is double-stitched with high-strength materials, allowing it to withstand the pressure of deep dives and prolonged use. Made of high-quality polyamide, our neck soft weight strap offers a long lifespan and retains its shape even under the most demanding conditions.
Comfort:
In addition to safety and durability, comfort is a top priority for our neck soft weight strap. The supple polyamide material ensures a comfortable fit around the neck, while the strong hook-and-loop straps provide a secure yet adjustable closure. With our neck soft weight strap, divers can enjoy unparalleled comfort, even during long dives.
Key Features
Fully Adjustable: Side access allows you to refill or reduce weight instantly.
Hydrodynamic: Made from smooth, high-quality polyamide that reduces drag in the water.

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
