How much weight do I need?

8 kg is the minimum required to avoid lifting the bottom weight during the first meters of free immersion – if executed with care. For optimal performance, 10 kg or even 12 kg ensure a tighter line and smoother descent. However, the buoy becomes significantly heavier and harder to transport from the car to the water. Personally, I’ve found that 8 kg is a practical compromise – it’s the configuration I’ve used for years, both for training and teaching.
