Buoyancy CompensatorsOne thing to keep in mind is knowing your dive gear is an enormous safety factor; if you're unfamiliar with the BCD you're wearing, that can make a sticky situation a bad situation. Each BCD's configuration and buoyancy is slightly different. By renting a different BCD each time you dive, you are inhibiting your ability to have the safest dive possible. A dump valve might be located in the front on one BCD and in the lower back on another.. Below are a few we recommend, or to read Leisure Pro's Buying Guide click here.

This BCD has a special wing system to reduce drag and give superior surface flotation. Made of abrasive resistant materials. Weight integrated. |
This BCD incorporates the flotation and stability of a jacket and the frontal freedom of a plate with back wing. Weight integrated, large stow pockets, multiple D rings, and with optional AIR 2, it’s the perfect reef setup! |
When you have a lot of extra equipment like camera, reels, extra tanks, etc., nothing gives you more freedom underwater than a plate with back wing. You can add weight integrated or removable stow pockets. The weight of the plate means a lot less weight needed on the belt or in pockets. It takes a little getting used to, but once you’ve mastered using it you’ll love it! |
