FURTHER CONSIDERATIONS
CONSIDERATIONS
FIND YOUR FIT
Fit is one of the most important diving considerations in picking a buoyancy compensator. SCUBAPRO offers a range of BCDS from traditional unisex options to specifically designed and tailored BCDs for females and smaller youth divers.
CONSIDERATIONS
SEARCH BY STYLE
SCUBAPRO BCDs come in three basic styles. Back-inflate positions the air cell behind you, offering an open chest area and less drag. Front-adjustable has a wraparound bladder, with air cells positioned around the arms and waist. The original stabilizing jacket allows air flow throughout. The right BCD depends on where you diving, your diving style, and skill level.
CONSIDERATIONS
TRAVEL-READY GEAR
If you're hopping on a plane to hit your next dive destination, your gear should be durable while also easy to travel with. That's why we've designed BCDs that are lightweight, foldable, dry quickly and even equipped with a convenient backpack. Now wherever you want to go, you can get there with SCUBAPRO.
STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
The signs that it’s time to replace your BCD can be as a big as leaking valves, or as small as fraying straps. While fraying material and broken buckles can seem like quick fixes at your local dive shop, once your BCD has been patched more than it can stand it’s time to look at purchasing a new one. With older model BCDs, keep in mind that upgrading to a newer model could mean a lighter load, better integration to new systems, and easier release in case of an emergency.
While it's always best to try on a dive suit or a BCD in a dive shop, SCUBAPRO provides a sizing chart for each BCD that matches a diver's height and weight to each BCD size. It also provides the BCD's lift capacity and dry weight.
SCUBAPRO offers three models specifically designed for female divers. The HYDROS PRO, Ladyhawk and Bella are all specifically designed and sized for female divers in multiple sizes and color options.
The Rebel is specially designed for smaller divers.
Special tools are required. SCUBAPRO recommends having it done by an Authorized Dealer.
The Mako knife, with stainless steel or titanium blade, and the White tip knife, with stainless steel blade, will each work on the HYDROS PRO. Note: you will also need to purchase the Knife Accessory Plate. All SCUBAPRO BCDs come equipped with grommets that enable knives to be mounted.
