Love this BCD easy to travel with

By RICHARD P.

 -  Bloomfield Hills , MI, US

I live in Michigan and for the most part the water is too cold for me. So I travel to dive, and this BCD travels well, is super comfortable and I find it very easy to establish neutral buoyancy. One of the other things I like is that I am a tall man and this BCD is easy to get into while sitting on the dive boat. Others I have had to get help to get into. Love this product would recommend it to anyone. Rich P

Looks great, fits great, large pockets sls weight system is really good, kinda hard to lock the first time but once it?s in its great. I reall like the fact that you can order an attachement for selfie stick that goes on the underside of the pockets. Really happy with my purchase !
