AKM-Scuba Diving Weight Harness -By AKM Sports

Tired of the Depth Struggle? Discover Effortless Buoyancy with the AKM Weight Harness

For any diver, the relentless battle against unwanted ascents or descents is a familiar frustration. Achieving perfect buoyancy is the Holy Grail, and often, the culprit behind your struggles lies in your weight system. Are you using enough weight? Is it distributed correctly? Is your weight belt comfortable and, most importantly, secure?

The AKM Weight Harness has been designed and refined by experienced divers to solve these very problems, offering a superior alternative to the traditional weight belt and even surpassing many of its contemporary harnesses. We're confident that once you experience the difference, you'll never look back.

Comfort Redefined:

The AKM harness features a comfortable, wide shoulder strap (9cm thick!) that eliminates the pressure points and chafing often associated with traditional weight belts. This allows you to focus on your dive, not on the discomfort digging into your hips or shoulders.

Unwavering Security, Instant Release:

One of the biggest concerns with any weight system is security. Over time, Velcro closures on traditional weight pockets can wear down, leading to accidental weight loss - a potentially lethal situation. AKM has made weight pocket security a top priority. The harness features a unique quick-release system designed for immediate action. As soon as the release clips are pressed, the ring jumps into action, ensuring easy and rapid weight ditching in emergencies. This ingenious system also proves invaluable when diving from a RIB, allowing for efficient weight removal before exiting the water.

Durability and Design:

The AKM harness is built to last. Forget flimsy materials and questionable craftsmanship. This harness is strong and easy to put on, avoiding the tangling issues often plaguing cheaper strap harnesses. The weight carrying pockets are secured with additional Velcro, providing an extra layer of security.

Technical Diving Ready:

For the seasoned technical diver, the AKM harness is equipped with an array of high-quality polycarbonate D-rings. These allow you to easily attach staging cylinders or other essential equipment. Unlike some competitors who compromise with weaker plastic clips, AKM prioritizes strength and quality above all else.

Affordable Quality, Direct from the Source:

Because we sell directly from the factory, you benefit from significant cost savings. There's no middleman inflating the price, meaning you get premium quality and innovative design without breaking the bank. Why pay more for less?

A Unique Release System, Proven Performance:

The AKM harness features a pocket release system unlike any other on the market. This unique design has been rigorously tested and highly rated by one of the UK's leading scuba diving magazines, Scuba Dive (The BASC official diving magazine - August 2012) , achieving an impressive 85% rating.

Built on Feedback, Continually Improving:

We've listened to diver feedback and made necessary adjustments over the past decade, with the most recent refinement to the ditch pocket system completed in 2025. This dedication to continuous improvement ensures you're diving with a harness that's always evolving to meet the needs of modern divers.
