2.2.2
The safety lanyard binds the athlete to the warm-up line or to the official line. It is made up of;

1. • a karabiner without screws in which the opening (minimum 15mm) is big enough to allow the karabiner to be placed and hooked to the line without difficulty. The "finger" of the karabiner must function normally; in other words opening with little pressure and closing automatically.
   
2. • a semi-elastic or non elastic link between 30cm (minimum) and 100cm (maximum when stretched) in length, made up of a material designed to not make knots (e.g. a cord, or a cord covered with plastic).
   
3. • a wrist or ankle band which cannot be removed inadvertently, which includes a ring having an interior diameter of a minimum of 26mm for athletes wearing the lanyard on the wrist; OR a belt other than the weight belt, which cannot be removed inadvertently for those wearing the lanyard on the waist, the belt holding the lanyard must be situated higher than the weight belt. In this last case, the freediver will still wear a wrist band, which cannot be removed inadvertently, including a lanyard ring of an interior diameter of a minimum of 26mm.
   
4. • the total weight of the safety lanyard may not exceed 500gr.
