I find shot belts really suck for freediving

. They are OK (and very comfy) for sneaking about in the shallows, but if you do any diving they tend to slide all over the place. They are also bulkier than the same amount of solid weight
You are quite right Dave, but after 35 years of spearfishing I have chosen to use a shot belt! I have owned many weight belts over the years & confess shot belts do tend to slide around, especially when you are actually diving. However a bit of resourcefulness can solve the problem. Anyhow as it happens I do sneak around in the shallows most of the time, works for me though
