ABSTRACT:
A torso-conforming diver's weight pouch for use by a diver in a buoyancy compensator vest containing at least one recess. At least one weight for neutralizing the diver's buoyancy is contained within a pocket on the pouch. Attached to the pouch is a curvature retaining device which defines and retains a curved configuration of the pouch. The diver can manipulate the curvature retaining device to determine the pouch's configuration. Such configuration can be changed to conform to the diver's hips. Therefore, when the pouch is installed into a buoyancy jacket, the pouch provides more comfort to the diver.
