Abstract

A quick release connector is provided for underwater diving equipment such as a weighting system for buoyancy control. The quick release connector includes a first connector portion which may be mounted to the apparel unit and a second connector portion which may be mounted to one or more weights. The second connector portion interfaces with the first connector portion includes a pivotable lock that can be actuated against a spring to decouple the two connector portions and allow for manual release of the weights.
