The Balanced Rig

The Balanced Rig is designed to maintain an optimal balance between weight and buoyancy, allowing divers to hold a decompression stop even in the event of a sudden gas loss. Achieving this balance requires a thorough evaluation of each component's impact on the overall buoyancy characteristics of the configuration. It is essential to carefully assess the configuration's static and dynamic characteristics to ensure that divers are not over-weighted and can maintain proper buoyancy.
