Tech Blocks

Streamlined 1kg lead blocks, specifically engineered for the technical diver. Designed to fit perfectly in Mares Horizon rebreathers, XDeep central weight pockets, and various sidemount systems. Available in two finishes:

Weight: 1 kg
Compatibility: Mares Horizon, XDeep, Sidemount
Stock Status: In Stock

Precision engineered for Tech

Tech divers demand precision. Our Tech Blocks are cast in a flat, square profile (approx. 9x9cm) to minimize bulk. This shape is the industry standard for fitting into tight trim pockets or the dedicated weight compartments of rebreathers like the Mares Horizon.

The Choice: Raw vs. VK Pro Shield You can order this product in two variations to suit your customer base:

  • VK Pro Shield (Black Coated): Our signature vinyl coating. It provides a ‘soft-touch’ grip, prevents lead oxidation, and offers a sleek ‘Stealth Black’ look that matches tech gear perfectly. It protects the equipment from abrasion.

  • Raw (Uncoated): The no-nonsense solution. A robust, functional block for divers who prioritize pure weight over aesthetics.

Common Questions

We’re here to help you make informed choices.

No. This is our most important promise to you. Whether you need 1000kg for the season or just 5kg to top up your stock, we deliver. We act as your warehouse at a distance, so you don’t have to tie up capital in dead stock.

Since we value personal contact and custom solutions, we don’t use an automated webshop. Once you have received our price list, you can simply order via email or phone. This allows us to double-check your order and advise you on the best shipment method.

We understand that you cannot sell what you don’t have. We ship orders from our warehouse within 24-48 hours. For most European destinations, this means you will have the goods very quickly.

 

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
