Great starter BCD. It's my backup now, but missed it when I switched to a back inflate style.

Perfect for the occasional diver or begginner

It seems very sturdy. Easy to mount the tank. Not a lot of bells and whistles for things to go wrong! Very happy with the purchase.

Great BCD!!

I needed to BCD's, moderately priced for a quick trip to the Bahamas that would fit in a dive backpack to be carried on the plane, not checked, that wouldn't go over my budget. I have over 700 dives, GF has 14. The Cressi Start Pro fit the bill to a T! Not too many bells and whistles to be confusing, yet had just enough adjustment, and enough pockets / rings to accommodate the necessities and integrated weights. I bought 2, one for me and one for my GF. I'm 5-10 190 35" waist, 44" chest, got a large, it was just a tad too big around the waist. My GF is 5-4, 125 not too busty and the small fit perfectly. Comfortable fit, good inflation, balance and stability. Easy/quick adjustment, inflation, deflation. Made 7 dives, zero issues. My only mod was to cut the right shoulder dump cord and move the handle further up the chest instead of having the handle hang below the chest strap. All seams, straps, zippers, pouches and buckles all stayed tight and secure. Highly recommended for an entry / travel BCD. Great job Cressi!

Cressi BCD

By LARRY K.

I bought it for my grand daughter. She just finished her OW Certification. It fit great and she was comfortable in it. Thank you

Designed primarily as a rental BC for resorts and dive schools, the Start Pro 2.0 gives students and customers the stability of a jacket style BC and the convenience of weight integration. Diver operators will appreciate its bullet-proof construction using 1000 and 500 Denier Cordura and large, easily to see size markings on the shoulder. The Start 2.0 has two unique "gravity" releasable weight pockets equipped with rugged squeeze-style quick-release buckles. The back support is rigid for proper cylinder stability but is fully padded for comfort and the ridged backpack is equipped with a grab handle for easy transport and gear donning assist.

Adjustable sternum strap, waist strap along with both torso adjustment shoulder straps are equipped with squeeze style" quick-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. The BCD has three over-pressure relief/dump valves with two located on the left and right shoulders and a third lower valve on the rear right of the air cell. All three can be manually dumped two with pull cords and the other with the power inflator mechanism. BCD has two techno-polymer D-rings and two additional spring clip holder rings for attachment of instruments and accessories. The Start Pro 2.0 is equipped with the Cressi's streamline Commando Power Inflator with cable activated pull dump valve and 3/8" threaded quick-disconnect hose. Shoulder overpressure relief valve with pull cord is provided for trimming of buoyancy. The inflator mechanism is environmentally sealed for greater reliability and less maintenance.

Two large cargo pockets with hook and loop closures are great for storage of gloves or a small dive light and more. The weight pockets have a capacity of 20 lbs (9kg) of hard or soft weighs. The BCD has a lift capacity from 29.2 to 45 lbs (13.3 to 20.4kg) depending on the BCD size. The Start Pro weighs from 4.8 to 6.2 lbs (2.1 to 2.8kg) dry. BCD comes with an owner's manual.
