Abstract
A device is disclosed for the release by remote control of a weight from a diving bouyancy control device or vest. The device includes a sheet of flexible material secured to the bouyancy control device with the material and the bouyancy control device defining a pocket therebetween the releasable receiving the weight. The pocket has a first open end or bottom such that the weight may freely exit from the pocket through the first open end of the pocket. A fastening device is disposed adjacent to the first open end of the pocket for controlling the passage of the weight through the first open end of the pocket. A remote control device is connected to the fastening device for remotely controlling the fastening device such that in a first position of the control device, the fastening device closes the first open end of the pocket to inhibit the passage of the weight therethrough. In a second position of the control device the fastening device opens the first open end of the pocket to permit the weight to pass therethrough to increase the bouyancy of the bouyancy control device.
