I'm still really partial to the Zeagle Ranger. Wing, awesome weight dump system (it's fiddly to reload, but it only dumps the actual weights) and it's super comfy. Oh and mine is pushing 20 years old and still holding up beautifully.

I don’t know why everybody has a hate on for the jacket style BCD’s.......is just because the BP/W people have made you feel silly for wanting something you were trained in, and you don’t want to look like a beginner? Having said that I have a Hydros Pro and love it.

The Outlaw is not just great for travel. I use mine UK drysuit diving with a 15 ltr cylinder no problem. It is light, strong, well designed, comfortable, & minimalist . . . all you need in a recreational BCD. The bladder has plenty of lift too. Oh & it looks a work of art.

I love my Aqualung Axiom. It takes a 200 step staircase to get down to the Dive site and it's a huge relief to have all that weight on my hips instead of my shoulders.

After 30+ years of diving I just changed BCD to a wing and bought a Ursuit Phantom Wing and Comfort Harness, because it's a more comfortable version of technical diving harness.

I find the horse collar cheeper $200 more stream line, more modular. You can skin dive with a small pony as power inflator or as a guard against shallow water blackout. It's what the navy uses. It's clean and it's mean and lean.

@cherylbabineau81905 жыл бұрын
Loving the ScubaPro Hydros. Feels so comfortable on and it forms to my back. The way it grips lets me actually do barrel rolls underwater without tank shift. It is the only neutral BC so average weight loss it 6 pounds. I was diving with 22 pounds and now only need 16 in my 7mm wetsuit. Pockets on a BC are useless once you put the unit on so I love that the BC does not have them. There are lots of great add ons and I got the large thigh pockets that easily attaches to the BC and my thigh giving me a large pocket similar to my drysuit that i can easily get into while diving. The chest strap can be moved up or down to find my comfort level and the weight pockets/belly strap can be lengthened or shortened. For travel i can remove the pockets and put on the harness making the unit ideal for travel. The back pack that comes with it i have packet my BC, reg, computer, mask, snorkel and fins in for easy carry on.

I like my hydros pro but after around 400 dives in it the last 2 years some downsides to it aswell. I use air2.5 and when I need to split air or fill my SMB, the band holding in the deflator makes it a very uncomfortable angle which has resulted in me cutting it but now it hangs loose instead. In the water it is superb but I work as a diving guide from a boat and always get picked up with a boat so on the surface it wants to put me on the back with the face under the surface but it has it common with all the wings. A safety buckle for the tank mount is another thing they missed that contributed to bruising and pinched fingers

I’ve got both the xblack and hydros pro which are amazing. However my hydrospro seems to be very very fragile and I’ve had to replace parts as the monoprean at the shoulder link and the weight pockets on the side was tearing up due to the weight.

Would recommend the standard one (without the buckle) as it can adjust even more than the deluxe (with the buckle) Plus...one of a nicer looking design compare to other on the market
