The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft weighs 285 grams (10 ounces). The reduced weight matters underwater, where neutral buoyancy and arm fatigue are primary concerns during long dives. The lightweight construction does not compromise rigidity: the monobloc lower stem design eliminates the wobble common in multi-piece shafts, keeping the coil stable during slow sweeps over uneven bottoms. The weight savings come from the compact telescoping mechanism and the elimination of redundant hardware found on adjustable shafts.
