DIRdirect don't do them..
Agir Brok will do them at 'some point' in the future (once their mould is sorted)
and Aluetian - who used to do them - have gone bust a while ago..

I have seen pictures of a canvas pouch that accepts a shot weight bag that can be used - but again, can't find them anywhere..

I don't want to try to make one.

So.. does anyone one of a retailer who sells these?

As always, thanks in advance.

The pouch tail weight's I've seen are made by Tobin
http://www.deepseasupply.com/

I've got one to play with which I took out a couple of weeks ago, just need to take some pic's then I can post what I thought.

In brief, they hold 2kg and are pretty good for something like 15$ (IIRC) I can't see them on his site at present but drop him and email

I have seen them at Portland Oceaneering before, give them a ring, unfortunately I don't have a number for him but I dare say somebody on here will have.

The pouches you could try Bowstone diving products as they have a large selection. IIRC its www.bowstonediving.co.uk or narked at 60 may have.

Regards

Andy
