They are needed for spearfishing. When immersed in water to a depth only with waist weights, a large load is placed on the lower back.
The body bends and in order to keep it in a flat plane, you need to spend additional strength and energy. Spearfishing equipment should save the swimmer's strength.
Unloading vest for spearfishing SILVERS will help to distribute the load on the body of the "trick" in the right proportions, and you will not waste your energy. According to experts, the cargo should be distributed as follows:
- 60% - on a dirty trick belt;
- 40% - at the top of the vest.
How to choose the right vests
On the one hand, it seems that this is not a very important event. But there is another side of the coin - the safety of the hunter. After all, he is alone under water, and anything can happen there.
The main purpose of a spearfishing vest is the hunter's ability to surface in an emergency in a couple of seconds. Therefore, vests must be quickly unfastened and removed.
The markets have a huge range of vests with fastenersfor fixation on the hunter's body. They are adjusted to any size with straps for each individually and allow the hunter not to move during the dive.
What is the benefit of using vests
Most spearfishers understand that hauling cargo over land is not a very pleasant experience, especially when a neoprene hydraulic suit is used. Its thickness is 9 millimeters.
- Using vests, the load on the back is removed. This can be strongly felt after a long voyage. This time.
- The essential factor of a wetsuit is buoyancy. It allows you to quickly emerge in a certain situation, when the "trick" is freed from the loads. This is two.
- Different types of vests will allow you to hunt in the winter. It's three.
Cases in which a spearfisher needs to drop a load
1. Plunging into the water and reaching the desired depth, a hunter who has minus buoyancy will not be able to surface. Reasons can be:
- heavy weight load;
- a snag on the way.
What will be the depth to the surface, 20 meters or 4 - there is no difference.
2. If you spent more time at depth than expected. Reasons:
- casting nets;
- when removing the fish from the harpoon.
When you are actively moving your legs, and the slightest delay of 30 seconds can affect the fact that you do not get to the surface. Be vigilant!
Conclusions to listen to
Specialists in the pools were tested. That's whypeople who use vests should:
- distribute the load on the upper part of the vest and waist;
- The load on the shoulders should not exceed 50% of the total load.
Safety of diving is achieved by the ratio of 1/3 on the back and 2/3 of the load on the belt. Then the lower back is not loaded. Swimmers had cases that they dropped the belt to which the line of the buoy was attached, and then got it from the surface. Do not focus your attention on the fish in critical situations. Remember that untimely release of the load can lead to loss of consciousness. So, don't waste a minute, always have serviceable vests with you and act!
The belt can always be lifted from the buoy if it is attached to the line. After all, the life of a "trick" is more expensive than fish.
