Oceanic Photon Air 5 lb Replacement Weight Pockets - Pair

Best For

• Replacing Oceanic Photon Air integrated weight pockets
• Photon Pro owners who want the compatible 5 lb pocket system
• Travel-oriented dive setups
• Divers who prefer integrated weight over carrying all ballast on a separate weight belt
• Configurations where 5 lb per side provides sufficient ditchable weight capacity

Key Features

• 5 lb Capacity Per Pocket: Each pocket holds up to 5 lb / 2.2 kg of weight.
• 10 lb Combined Capacity: The pair provides up to 10 lb / 4.4 kg of integrated weight capacity.
• Photon Air Replacement System: Designed as the replacement integrated weight-pocket system for the Oceanic Photon Air.
• Photon Pro Compatible: Oceanic also lists these 5 lb pockets as compatible with the Photon Pro.
• Integrated Weight Design: Allows ditchable ballast to be carried directly on the BCD instead of relying entirely on a separate weight belt.
• Travel-Oriented Capacity: Lower-capacity pockets complement the Photon Air's lightweight, streamlined design.

Compatibility

These replacement weight pockets are designed for the Oceanic Photon Air BCD and can also be used with the Photon Pro.

Important: This is the 5 lb-per-pocket Photon Air weight system. Oceanic also offers a separate Photon Pro weight system with a higher 10 lb-per-pocket capacity.

5 lb vs. 10 lb Photon Weight Systems

The Photon Air weight system provides up to 5 lb per pocket, making it the lighter-capacity option for divers who do not require substantial integrated ballast. The separate Photon Pro weight system provides up to 10 lb per pocket. Both systems are compatible with the Photon platform, allowing divers to choose the capacity that better matches their weighting requirements.

What's Included

• Two Oceanic Photon Air 5 lb integrated weight pockets

Not Included

• Lead or other diving weights
• Oceanic Photon Air or Photon Pro BCD
• Photon trim weight pockets
• Photon Pro 10 lb weight system

FAQs

How much weight does each pocket hold?
Each pocket holds up to 5 lb / 2.2 kg, providing a combined capacity of up to 10 lb / 4.4 kg for the pair.

Does this fit the Oceanic Photon Air?
Yes. This is the replacement 5 lb integrated weight-pocket system designed for the Photon Air.

Can these pockets also be used with the Photon Pro?
Yes. Oceanic states that the Photon Air 5 lb weight pockets can also be used on the Photon Pro.

Are weights included?
No. This listing includes the weight pockets only. Diving weights are added separately.

Are these the same as the Photon trim pockets?
No. These are the primary integrated weight pockets. Photon trim pockets are separate smaller pockets used to position additional ballast for trim and are sold separately.

What is the difference between these and the Photon Pro 10 lb pockets?
The Photon Air system holds up to 5 lb per pocket, while the separate Photon Pro system holds up to 10 lb per pocket. The 5 lb version is the lower-capacity option and better complements lightweight travel-oriented setups.

Expert Insight

The Photon Air 5 lb Weight System is the better choice when you want integrated ditchable weight without adding the capacity and bulk of the larger 10 lb Photon Pro pockets. Because Oceanic designed both systems to work across the Photon Air and Photon Pro platforms, divers can select the pocket capacity that best matches their exposure protection, cylinder choice, and overall weighting needs.
