Re: Weights
Shot purchased for shooting sports may not be stable enough for diving use.  But the shot in Sea Pearls and other soft weight packs is created with lead blended with Antimony to make an alloy that is harder than straight lead.  Otherwise the use and abuse would make all the lead crumble away in pools and lakes.  It's mostly Antimony dust that you see when you rinse your gear. 
I love to go down with other divers!
