Lobster Weight (pronounced as 'lawb-ster wayt') is a company based in the Republic of Moldova, specializing in manufacturing equipment for freediving. In 2015, during the Freediving World Championships, Dimitri Voloshin comes up with Lobster - a revolutionary weight system for freediving.[1] In 2020, Lobster won the "Oscar" in terms of industrial design - the Red Dot Design Award.[2] In the same year, they also won the iF Design Award. And it is actually the first time in history, when the award for the best design in the category of sports products goes to a Moldovan product![3]

Lobster Weight is designed to be placed around the neck, while the lobster tail end reaches down the back. This ensures an optimal, streamlined position of the body in the water, which makes it possible to dive longer distances. The weight of the ergonomically shaped Lobster Neck Weight can be individually adjusted to the diver's lung capacity thanks to the modular back element.[4]
