Cressi Marseillaise Freediving Belt

Standard nylon belts don't stretch, meaning they can loosen as your wetsuit compresses at depth, causing the belt to slide around your hips. The high-stretch rubber of the Marseillaise belt maintains constant tension, ensuring it stays securely in place throughout your entire descent and ascent.

The Marseillaise buckle is designed specifically for safety and ease of use. It features a pin-and-hole system that allows for a very quick, intuitive release in an emergency, which is critical when you need to ditch your weights immediately.
