MAKO Weightbelt Policy:
MAKO Spearguns recognizes that diving (both freediving and SCUBA) are potentially dangerous activities. We have all heard of tragic accidents where a diver is found on the bottom while still wearing a weight belt. We hope and pray that should any of our customers find themselves in a situation where ditching a belt may be necessary, that there is no delay and the belt is dropped immediately.
In many situations a belt is recoverable, however if your MAKO belt and lead and/or Tinman weights are ditched (and lost) in a true emergency…. MAKO will replace them at our cost. The last thing we want is our customers considering the cost of a lost belt in an emergency. The only thing we ask is that the individual shares with us (and our friends and customers) some sort of write-up about how the situation developed and how it was resolved. That way, we can all learn and be reminded to keep safety in the forefront of our minds. Knives / Lights / Weights & Belts / Accessories Dive safe Dano

Re: MAKO Weightbelt Policy:
That's a great policy!
I really don't know how the cost influences the decision to drop a belt, but if its even a consideration, its great that you take cost out of it. |

Re: MAKO Weightbelt Policy:
wow that is a crazy move for a retailer! I hope people don't take advantage of the good intentions of Mako. If you need to drop your belt mark the spot, it is lead and is not going anywhere. Thanks dano for looking out for us all

Re: MAKO Weightbelt Policy:
Dano/MAKO are the best. That is one hell of a offer from a up right individual and company. Hope all that require this help come out ok and safe, but I also hope no one takes advantage, you know karma is a killer.
