| 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 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.

| 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...

| Aeris 5 Oceans BioFlex BC Reviews 
Reviewer: Robert L. on 7/11/2010
Great Crossover BCD - The last BCD I owned was the Oceanic Excursion, which I loved. It was rock solid and had everything you could want in a BCD. Unfortunately, the airline lost that one and for my replacement I wanted something similarly functional but lighter. I do most of my diving in the Caribbean and wanted to shave a couple pounds off my luggage weight. According to what I read online, the 5 Oceans was the perfect fit for my needs. It is indeed light and functional. My only complaint is that there is no cummerbund. There is only a buckle around the waist and even when I tighten the buckle straps as far as they will go, I still cant get a snug fit. Im slender at 61" 170lbs, but Im not a rail by any means....

| Aqua Lung SeaQuest Zuma Travel Scuba BC Reviews
Reviewer: Bruce L. on 4/11/2013
Love this BC! - Just got back from a trip to the Caribbean & used my Zuma for the first time. How wonderful to be able to fold it in half when packing it. It takes up so little room! (I have been using the Diva - also a great BC but heavy!). I was able to pack all my gear (I have the Hotshot fins) & clothes in one checked bag. And was still under the weight limit!
I am a diver who carries little when doing boat dives with a divemaster. So this worked perfectly. Plus it dried quickly. The only negative is that I had a hard time getting the weight pockets to click in place sometimes. Other than that, it worked great. Cant wait to use it again next month!

| Hollis Ride Travel BCD Reviews
Reviewer: Vincent E. on 3/5/2013
Perfect Travel Wing - In short, this is a light weight travel wing with high durability. I have done a more than a few dives on this wing, and after getting used to it, everytime I dive now, I feel like I am not wearing a bcd. It has a very low profile, no clutter in front of me, just perfect all round.
Sadly, Hollis only added one dump value on the bottom. Additionally, if you plan to get this bcd, consider getting 2 weight pockets to attach on the tank strap.
Overall, I would recommend this bcd especially if you travel a lot.

| Oceanic Islander 2 BC Reviews
Reviewer: Scott S. on 3/6/2011
I love this BC - This is a great travel BC that is very well constructed and perfect for tropical dives. I wish it had two tank straps and stainless D-rings but nevertheless a fantastic BC. I am sure it will last for years. It is sized a bit on the small size. I am a medium but ended up with the large. You cant go wrong with this BC. It trims up nice with the weight pockets in the back on the tank strap.

| Zeagle Ranger LTD BC Reviews
Reviewer: Don Rhodes on 12/3/2007
Great heavy duty BCD - This is a very well made BCD with features that made it easy to use including weight bags that are easy to put into the zippered pockets, extra weight pockets in the rear of the BCD next to the tank and several rings to attach stuff. It is a long tested design, fits well and, most important, works well in the water.
As with most SCUBA gear, you need to decide where and how you plan to use it. I spend most of the year diving with a heavy duty dry suit. The BCD, with its lift, is great for that. Because of its design and fit it should also be fine for the trips to the tropics.
Like all divers I ask others about their gear. There are a lot of Zeagle Rangers on dive boats. All the... 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

| XS Scuba Companion BC Reviews
Reviewer: Linda M. on 11/27/2012
XS Companion BC - This bc is working in a pinch as I am getting my other BC fixed. It is light, easy to use, but still getting used to it. The biggest problem is that there are no pockets to store reef hook, flashlight, etc. Otherwise, a good traveling BC. Linda

| Oceanic Excursion 2 BCD .. Reviews
Reviewer: Waymon Brewster on 7/10/2012
Easy setup. - It was nice not to have a weight belt. Very comfortable with no chaffing under the arms. Being a back inflator, it will push your face down in the water, when on the surface.
