The jacket-style BCD was the original buoyancy compensator device. SCUBAPRO revolutionized diving 40 years ago with the stabilizing “STAB” jacket, and continues to lead the field.
When SCUBAPRO invented the stabilizing jacket BCD, it was a complete evolution in buoyancy control. Special internal passages let air flow through the jacket and collect at whatever point of the jacket was highest. Suddenly, instead of a static buoyancy device that made you fight to face the proper direction, divers could experience a stable ride underwater and a smooth face-up floating experience on the surface.
A direct descendant of the original “stab” jacket, SCUBAPRO’s modern Classic jacket-style dive BCD combines the best design and construction features of past and present. With a first-class valve system, a fully-adjustable cummerbund to compensate for suit compression, and a Super Cinch buckle system that locks the tank in rock-solid, these BCDs bring the best of modern features to an all-time classic design.
