A device for releasably connecting a weight pouch to a pocket of a scuba diving jacket. The device comprises: a flat sheath integrally connected to the scuba diving jacket; a latch member being attached to the weight pouch and having arms that are elastically deformable in the plane of the sheath and have sides tapered relative to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the sheath to produce a snap closure when the latch member is inserted in the sheath. An inward-projecting abutment inside the sheath engages the ends of the arms when the device is closed, thereby preventing the latch member from sliding out of the sheath. A member is provided for bending the arms of the latch member so as to release them from the position where they abut the abutment in the sheath and enable the device to be opened. The bending member comprises a cap slidingly mounted on the latch member and containing tapered projections for engaging the tapered sides of the arms in order to release the ends of the arms from the abutment in the sheath as a result of relative movement of the cap in relation to the latch member that induces elastic deformation of the arms. The cap and the latch member are preferably connected to the same handle for inducing their relative movement by respective flexible connection elements, of which the one connecting the handle to the latch member is longer than the one connecting the handle to the cap, whereby a tensile force exerted on the handle first causes relative movement of the cap with respect to the latch member inside the sheath
