| TUSA Conquest BC BCJ-7000 Reviews 
Reviewer: Jeff G. on 7/13/2009
TUSA BCJ-7000 - first off, this bc is very comfortable. it has many steel d-rings to attach stuff, a nice sized down pocket, two retractor grommets, and the back cushion is very comfortable with extra padding in the lumbar area (real nice coming out of a beach dive). its inflation device is in between a back and jacket inflator type. it inflates on the back and on the side, but not as much on the side like a jacket were it sometimes feels like its squishing your stomach. for lack of a better term, it is "bulky" compared to say a seaquest malibu, but thats because of its comfort additions, such as the back/lumbar cushion and massive padding on the shoulder straps. also, the air inflation system is...

| Zeagle Stiletto BC Reviews
Reviewer: Eldon Parkinson on 2/23/2010
Zeagle Stiletto BC Review - a call to scuba.com and a quick talk to a techy helped me correctly the right sized bcd. i found the personalized adjustments to the bcd were quick and intuitive and if i gain or lose a few pounds i wont need to buy a new bcd, i can simply redo the adjustments and the velcro closing cumberband will fit me as well as it does now. while i dont find the inflater quite as easy to use as the one on my old mares bcd it is still easy to use, i think if it had about a 3" longer hose that would fix the problem. (if i had of bought this bcd first, i would have probably thought the hose on the mares was too long ). the fact that the power inflator end quickly disconnects makes it a breeze to flush...

| Zeagle Ranger BC Reviews
Reviewer: Aaron Cornett on 9/9/2007
No longer renting - I recently pruchased a Zeagle Ranger BC from SCUBA.COM. I was very pleased with the service, including an attempt at price matching with a different online company (who did not have my size in stock).
The Zeagle Ranger is a great piece of kit. Very comfortable. Very adjustable. Very well made. As a point of comparison, it is a little bulky when packing it into a bag. I love the integrated weights, although it does make for a heavy piece of gear when everything is loaded.

| Aeris Atmos LX BC Reviews 
Reviewer: Shaun B. on 9/24/2007
Atoms LX provides a great fit, good adjustments and secure weight system - As a recently certified advanced diver I’ve had the opportunity to try (rent) several different types of BCS found this one to be the best for the following reasons: 1. It’s a true Hybrid, it provides the best of both worlds (jacket & back buoyancy) 2. The weight system is stiff and pre-bent to conform to body and very easy to detach if required. 3. It is extremely comfortable with quick-release straps. 4 It has (6) mounting points for all of my extras. 5. Great big metal zippers with extended pull tabs. What I didn’t like: The cargo pockets are almost useless when the weight pouches are full, hence 4 stars!.

| Mares Icon with MRS Plus Weight System Reviews
Reviewer: Mark L. on 9/14/2008
Very good BC - Im an avid cold-water diver, and was looking for a sturdy BC that I could use here as well as for tropical dives. This BC folds up for travel which is a neat trick, but that means giving up the hard tank holder and losing a bit of stability in the process. That said, this is a sharp-looking BC, very high quality, nice looking, hyper-streamlined, minimalist, well-made, and versatile. Only down-sides are that it could use a little more lift (I dive light and still found myself riding pretty low in the water, and the chest strap is not optional - you must use it. Also, the contrasting seams look cool, but the threat they use is scratchy, so I wouldnt recommend this BC for tropical dives... View Full Review

| Zeagle Scout BC Reviews
Reviewer: Vladimir Iakovlev on 1/13/2010
Zeagle Scout BC - I bought this BC specifically for travelling and was very happy after the first trip. It is light and small, which is very important in the era when airlines are so meticulous about luggage dimensions, weight, number of pieces... The BC is completely functional for a 140lb guy in warm water with 15lb of lead. I used the integrated weight pockets, which were sufficient to fit 10-12lb. With a video camera I was putting a piece of lead in the pocket. I made a small modification: removed the front velcro (held by screws) and stitched a buckle at the back for a crotch strap. With this set up you do not feel like you are wearing a BC at all. My wife saw me diving with the bc, tried it and... View Full Review

Reviewer: Thomas S. on 1/11/2008
Great BC - I love this BC, it is very streamline and feels great. It doesnt have much for pockets, but I would definantly buy it again.

| Aeris 5 Oceans BC Reviews
Reviewer: Dennis Bond on 3/2/2010
good fit in smaller BC - This BC is lighter weight and smaller in size than my old one, but worked fine. I believe it is easier to put on than most and allowed me to get buoyant easier because the inflated air all goes to your back. I did have some problems floating on ascent initially, since all the air is in the back and this tends to push you forward, but I got used to this difference and adjusted for it without problems.

| Cressi Back Jac BC Reviews
Reviewer: James Ray on 2/16/2009
Nice BCD Overall - I like the BCD overall, but you MUST take some time
in a pool or shallow setting and get your weights right,
tank weights are needed and they take a little trial and error to get correct. Do not buy this and just go diving,
you will look like a Newbie. Once set up correctly, the BCD
is quite good. lots of clip points, very sturdy, and comfortable. I would recomend it, but to an expirianced diver, newer divers, stick with the Full Jacket Style. You will be happier. J.R. Rochester, New York
