Bare Blackjack BC Reviews

Bare Blackjack BC Reviews   Blackjack BC

Reviewer: Chris G. on 10/6/2012

It just delivers everything! - Where do I start....I was looking for a BC that would hold my SMB and reel, slates, secondary torch, be able to hold enough weight for a cold water diver, and while having all my bits tucked away they needed to be accessable. Well this BC meets all my needs and its so comfy! The pockets are nice and roomy they are easy to open and close under water, the volume isnt impeeded when the BC is inflated like so many others on the market. I can reach my SMB in the rear side pocket with easy or my secondary torch. It can hold so much weight I will never be able to over load it, and the lift is awesome, it has D rings everywhere. I love that I can carry my car key in the front zip pocket and dont... View Full Review

Oceanic Oceanpro Scuba BC Reviews

Reviewer: Willis Chung on 4/4/2009

Great BC for the money! - Both my son (13) and I own this BC and we find it comfortable and easy to use. The floatation is more than adequate, and it is comfortable to put on and remove. A few niggling points. The integrated weight pockets can fall out of their sleeves if you have too much weight in them (6 pounds is OK, 8 pounds is not), so if you have more than 12 pounds, put the extra weight into the velcro pockets on the side. The strap to hold the tank on needs to get "broken in" to the right length to hold tanks, so be careful the first couple of times you go out. The tank will have the tendency to slip out until the strap gets streched out and develops a bend in the place where it wraps over the... View Full Review

Mares Dragon Ergo BC with MRS Plus Weight System Reviews

Mares Dragon Ergo BC with MRS Plus Weight System Reviews   Dragon Ergo BC with MRS Plus Weight System

Reviewer: Butch Amann on 9/20/2006

Mares Dragon BCD a winner - I recently purchased the Mares Dragon Ergo BCD with the MRS Plus weight system. I looked into several other models before making my decision. I am very happy with the vest. It fits well and is easy to put on and get off. The weight release system functions extremely well, and was easy to add or change weights even while underwater. The side pockets are easily accessible. The only problems I had were with the tank clamp, which seemed to be a little hard to get tight, and it did rub a bit in the front shoulder area. This may be in part due to the newness of the unit, and may get better as it is used more.

Sherwood Silhouette BC Reviews

Reviewer: Jerry Skeenes on 12/20/2008

Sherwood BC - I like simple equipment for diving. Had been diving with the same simple BC for about 15 years and it finially gave up. When I looked for a replacement I wanted a simple replacement. Sherwood seemed to have the BC I was looking for. This BC has good pockets with one that is secured with velcro that allows for safety items to be stored. I would like to see a d-ring added to this pocked and velcro on the other side but this is my only complaint. The BC is built very rugged, is comfortable, hasd plenty of attachment points for non-techical diving and the tank stays put. I have used it on 13 dives in Cozumel and the only issue I have noticed when compared to my old BC is it causes me to... View Full Review

Reviewer: George Trey on 4/3/2013

axiom i3 - this is a great bcd. the toggle switch that operates the dump valves is the best system i have usedair in when you want it, out when you dont. no reaching for kidney dumps or holding a hose in the air. its one less thing to think about. i also thought the integrated weight system worked well. its way better than a weight beltmuch more balanced. this is an expensive bcd but well worth it.

Reviewer: Chris G. on 7/4/2012

Just what the Little One ordered - Great solid BC, the perfect size for our daughter. She has gone from being very uncomfortable in the water, to being completely at ease. Everything is where it needs to be for her to use. I would recommend this for anyone who has a pint size diver to kit out. Thank you also to the team at Scuba.com for being so helpful during our purchase.

TUSA Liberator Sigma BC - Excellent beginner to intermediate scuba diving BC. Large pockets are easily accessible and useful for holding cameras and dive lights. Weight pouches are easily accessible and conveniently located. Very rugged design. I have been very happy with this product.

Reviewer: Piero G. on 5/28/2012

It is a good choice - Really it is a good choice lots of pro and, form me only one cons: the size chart is not very accurate, so when you choose your size, you better jump inmediate up instead the right one (and i´m not cheeting with my weigth) Hay que tener ciudado con la castlli de selección de talle, ya que no es muy exacta, preferible una talla mas arriba que justa

Mares Dragon Airtrim BC with MRS Plus Weight System Reviews

Reviewer: Doyle Sullivan on 11/20/2006

Dragon Air Trim - I used my new Mares Dragon AT for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It took about 2 seconds to become spoiled. The power assisted deflation worked better than I expected. When one pushes the deflate button, the purge valve makes a distictive noise that that makes it easy to know how much air is being released. Also, no bubbles to disturb your view. Dont plan on using the side pockets for much storage.

Seasoft Pro BC Reviews

Reviewer: Darrell L. on 4/14/2008

SeaSoft Pro isFantastic - I find this BCD to be the best one I have ever used (at least six others). It is extremely easy to adjust and very comfortable both in and out of the water. The tank bands are the best I have ever used and give you a great level of comfort due to the dual bands. The weight pockets are also the best I have seen. If you need to dump the integrated weights, you do not lose your pockets and there is also a possibility of retrieving the weights later in their interior bright orange bag. The retractables for a small backup light and gauges are very helpful. If flashlight can be used in the daytime to see under ledges and other tight spaces and also makes a great backup light for night... View Full Review
