| Zeagle Stiletto Scuba 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...

| TUSA Conquest Scuba 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...

| Aeris EX 200 Scuba BC Reviews
Reviewer: Andy Bortzner on 10/20/2011
awsome BCD - if your looking to invest in your very own BCD like i did, look no farther. This is the one that you want. i used it in my open water training class and out preformed all of the scubapro pro glides everyone else was using. everyone will try and tell you "o itll but your face in the water at the surface cause its a back inflator!" well those are power inflaters. yea it put me on my face when i had it >3/4 full. but if your a normal human being and do it correctly it will not. also i have more mobility in this BCD because it is back in flated. and no you dont loose room in your packets when you have the integrated weights in, thats the dumbest thing i ever heard. look, for the price your...

| Zeagle Ranger Scuba 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 5 Oceans BioFlex Scuba 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....

| Mares Pegasus Scuba BC with MRS Plus Weight System Reviews
Reviewer: Kelley S. on 8/27/2011
Mares Pegasus has flying colors. - there is something fantastic about a persons first bc. the challenge of choice the anticipation during shipping the first dive with your new partner in crime. this bc is wonderful. its easy to establish neutrality without ending up face or side down. the removable soft weight system is easier on the body than the weight belts divers get certified with. the fit of the bc is very natural with no awkward pulling or tugging. if your in the market for your first piece of equipment and are operating on a budget this is the bc for you. after researching various products i came to the decision that i couldnt do better in bang for my buck than the pegasus. i am happy to report after taking mine...

| Oceanic Islander 2 Scuba 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 Scout Scuba 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

| Zeagle Express Tech Scuba BC Reviews
Reviewer: franz c dr a. on 12/3/2010
Travel friendly - I like this item because in the days of airline weight restrictions it is the perfect bcd. To dive with is a real pleasure you dont know you are wearing a bcd at all. The only disadvantage is that its a little tricky to do surface control. You are pushed forward face down in the water when you inflate your bcd .My advice: fillit just enough to float or lie back... Therefor just four stars.

| Zeagle Ranger LTD 2012 Scuba BC Reviews
Reviewer: Sherrie A. on 9/26/2010
excellent design - This back inflating BC is just the ticket for the diver who wants neutral buoyancy and easy vertical movement through the water. I have dove with both jacket type and back inflator type BCDs and this is the best most efficient one I have seen.

| Sherwood Axis Scuba BC Reviews
Reviewer: vernon k. on 10/1/2007
divervlk - I have not used the Axis or the Oasis yet since ordering it but the local dive shop uses the same equipment for students and both owners use it for their personal equipment. Both have had number years of experience.

| Cressi Back Jac Scuba 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
