Squid Heavy Segment as an Addition to Squid Pro for More Weight

Is your Squid Pro neck weight of 1.3 kg not heavy enough to achieve the perfect trim in open water? With the Squid Heavy Segment, you can increase the total weight of your Squid Pro neck weight from 1.3 kg to up to 2 kg, allowing for better customization to your needs.

Squid Pro Neck Weight

• Squid Base: 0.8 kg
• 10 Squid Segment Pro weights of 50 g each: 500 g
• Total: 1.3 kg

Squid Pro Neck Weight with Squid Heavy Segment

• Squid Base: 0.8 kg
• 8 Squid Segment Pro weights of 50 g each: 400 g
• 1 Squid Heavy additional weight: 800 g
• Total: 2.0 kg

When Do I Need the Squid Heavy Segment?

If you find that the standard Squid neck weight does not provide the desired longitudinal stability during freefall, the Squid Heavy Segment can be a valuable addition. By adding this extra weight, you increase the weight around the neck to up to 2 kg, which shifts the weight forward and improves longitudinal stability. This also reduces the weight on your belt, keeping your overall weight and buoyancy consistent.

This forward shift of the center of gravity creates a stabilizing effect that helps you maintain an optimal position in open water. The Squid Heavy Segment is particularly useful when diving with thicker wetsuits in cold water, as these suits have more buoyancy and require additional weight adjustment to achieve the desired stability and trim position.

Installation on the Squid Pro

To install the Squid Heavy on the Squid Pro, remove the two rear plugs. The Squid Heavy should be inserted halfway into one hole (logo facing up) and then firmly pressed into the second hole. This video shows how it works:
