better fit then nighthawk

By DAVID S.

very impresive, i first ordered a scubapro BCD and sent it back for this one, and never had a regret yet. I dive 240 to 250 dives per year, and have about 40 dives on this vest and would not trade it for any other.

 

Excellent all around product.

By Christopher S.

I am actually shocked to read the other divers issue with the Sure Lock system and would like to hear more specifics. This has been a wonderful all around BC for me. I have 218 dives on it ranging from a swimsuit in tropical waters to dry suit quarry diving in Ohio to 125' in 38 degree water. It has performed wonderfully under every condition and I have never lost a weight pocket. It also packs exceptionally well for travel. I have convinced three friends to buy one simply by letting them try...

The freedom of back inflation: Many divers prefer the back inflation as it provides greater freedom of movement and a lower profile. The Balance couples a rear 3-dimensional bladder with a patented harness system that provides exceptional support and load distribution. Looking for the best in fit and comfort in a streamlined package? Look no further than the Balance. The Balance uses the time proven Exclusive Sure Lock releasable weight system with a weight capacity of 20lbs (9kg) and has two non-release rear weight trim pockets holding a maximum combined 10lbs (4.5kg). The revolutionary triangular load distribution system in shoulder strap (a Sea Quest exclusive) relieves backpack pressure for ultimate comfort in and out of the water. A newly designed fold down pocket can stow a little or when folded down a lot, swivel buckles at the shoulder straps for a custom fit and feel, three bent stainless steel D-rings for attachment of accessories.

Built to last, constructed of Armor-Shield Cordura, 840 and 420 Denier Nylon. The large contoured back pack helps stabilize even the largest tank, and the patented Tank Traction System (TTS) ensures the cylinder is firmly attached to the BCD. The comfortable rolled neoprene around the collar won't chafe your neck, and adjustable Air-Lock waistband buckle allows easy quick adjustments all make the Balance the BCD of serous divers worldwide. Buoyancy Control is accomplished with Aqua Lungs Power Line Inflator with an Increased Fill Rate which is now, one of the Highest Air Flows in the Industry. The Power Line is an environmentally sealed unit for less maintenance, has integrated hose clips for attachment to the included 3/8" threaded LP hose for a streamline and low profile. The inflator is equipped with a cable activated rapid exhaust at the top, simply pull down on lower unit to dump air. There is an additional shoulder pull dump overpressure relief valve on the BCD's right shoulder. Lower right side pull dump allows for easy dumping of air if you prefer head first descents or when you are in the swimming position.

The BCD's harness assembly consists of torso adjustable shoulder and sternum straps along with an adjustable waist strap. All straps are equipped with squeeze-style" side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. BCD comes equipped with multiple accessory attachment grommets for quick attachment of a BCD knife. The Balance BCD provides 30lbs to 50lbs (13.6kg to 22.7kg) of lift depending on the BCD size. BCD comes with an owner's manual and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty.

This product can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

Shopper  What is the weight of the mens "Balance" BCD (size ML)? Please don't submit "shipping weight'.
NEIL H  I have a MS and it's 6.43 lbs.
LANCE O  Does the Aqua Lung weight pouches fit the Sea Quest Pro BCD?
YAN G  Yes. In truth, this is an Aqualung BCD. Seaquest was bought out by Aqualung and they merged many years ago.
LANCE O  Thank U Frank.
Shopper  Is this the "Sea Quest Balance" or Aqua Lung? The pictures show Aqua Lung. I want to ensure I get the item that is pictured.
DAVID M  Yes it is a seaquest balance. I purchased this BCD from recommendations of fellow divers and a few test dives using this BCD. In my experience and opinion this is by far one of the most comfortable,durable, user friendly BCD.
YAN G  Seaquest was bought out by Aqualung many years ago. It is an Aqualung item.
JOHN A  Seaquest is a line of product from Aqualung. Product literature and warranty all branded aqualung. History is that the seaquest company was acquired by aqualung long ago. Name persists as a line of business. I own two of the balance units. Lightweight, great lift capacity, and great quality. no buyers remorse here..
bdm b  Could you please to specify package size?
BOB W  about 8"x28"x24
bdm b  Thanks a lot BOB!
BRIAN F  please reword your question.....are you interested in the true sizing of this BCF?
bdm b  I'm interested in size of shipping package. It's necessary to calculate my shipping expenses.
BRIAN F  the bcd is compact....the package was not much larger than the bcd... lay you current bcd flat on a table and measure it to get a rough estimate. my brother in law has the same bcd...loves it also B
Shopper  Am I too small to fit in the XL? 5'10 190lbs 43 chest? I want to buy the used bc
ANNE L  I think that would be fine...you could do like I did...I tried one on at a local dive shop then bought it from Leisure Pro.
DAVE S  I would say, yes. I'm 6'2" , 210 and comfortably wear a large.
STEVEN B  I am 5'9" 180 lbs and a 40" chest and I wear a medium BC. A LG might be a better fit, try it on alls I can say
VICTOR T  Hi A shopper, I'm 5'8" 190lbs, and 44" chest. According to the sizing chart, I got an M, which ended up being a tad small for me. Of course, I didn't take into consideration the gear I would put on, such as a 7mm wetsuit, but I ended up keeping it anyway as it worked, for the most part, and I didn't want to go through the troubles of exchanging it online. The only troubles I've had is that the side pocket was hard to reach and zip/unzip. If you were to attach a knife to the side, it might be hard to reach also. In my opinion, I'd say they run a bit small, but XL might be a tad on the large end for you.
HAYDN F  I am a little taller about the same weight and purchased a M/L a few years ago. I sinch down most of the straps so I think an XL would be too big.
ROBERT H  Sounds like you should probably consider a size large. It is adjustable, of course, but like all critical 'life support' gear a BCD is one of those things that a person is better off to buy new. While certainly it will cost more, it's hard to put a price on safe assurances and peace of mind.
