Cressi Malta Elastic Weight Belt

Overview

The Cressi Malta is an elastic rubber weight belt designed to carry diving weights around the waist. Its high-stretch construction responds to changes in wetsuit compression and body dimensions during a dive, helping the belt remain close to the diver.

Fit during the dive

During descent, reduced wetsuit thickness and changes in abdominal pressure can cause a conventional belt to loosen. The Malta contracts as the fit changes, helping keep the belt and attached weights properly positioned. Its elastic construction continues to accommodate changing fit through ascent as well.

Quick-release buckle

The stainless steel buckle is designed for rapid emergency release when the belt needs to be removed. The buckle pin passes through the assembly and is riveted at both ends.
