Product Information
The Tusa Weight Loading Cartridge AWLS III (MPN BCU303) is a weight cartridge accessory for TUSA jacket-style BCDs built with the Advanced Weight Loading System III (AWLS III), the weight pocket system TUSA publishes on its Liberator BCD (BC0103B). Each cartridge is designed so a diver inserts weight into the cartridge first, then slides it into the front weight pocket of the BC jacket. TUSA states its AWLS III weight-cartridges can accommodate from 8 lbs (3.63 kg) of weight in each cartridge.
Who it is for
This cartridge is for divers who already own a TUSA BCD equipped with the AWLS III integrated weight system and need a spare or replacement weight cartridge for the jacket's front weight pocket. It suits divers who want the easy loading TUSA describes for AWLS III: insert weight into the cartridge, then load it into the jacket.
