Questions & Answers

STEVE S : how many straps to hold the tank?Mario C : One strap.
LUCIELLE M : I am 6'1" tall, have a 34/35 waist, weigh 190lbs- what size should I buy?JUNE H : Large should work best.PAUL H : When I purchased my XL, I was 195 lbs, 5'8" and 39" waist and the BCD was too large for me. My only concern would be a Med might be too small given your height but a LG might be too big given your small waist. When checking availability, make sure Leisure Pro has both a Med and Large in stock and check their return policy. I would try the Large first and if the fit is not right, return it for a Med. It's a great BCD and I was very happy with it.ADVANCE C : Enter an answer to this question. I`m think you should buy an XLRICK W : I am 6'3, 180, 32 inch waist and I wear a large. It fits great and has quite a bit of adjustability. I think a large will fit you fine.
SAMUEL C : My height is 5'10", weight 155 lbs, and waist 32 inches. According to the size chart, it looks like my weight and waist are medium but my height is large. Which size would I choose?Steve S : Go with the Medium. The medium will most likely fit you best. If it does not fit though, just give customer service a call to exchange the size using our Pressure Free Fit Guarantee.JERRY L : This BCD was purchased for our club, so I have never personally warn it as I require a large to X-large. That being said, I recently lost weight and the cummerbund on my oldest XL BC now only has 2 - 3 inches of Velcro that still makes contact on the inside. The cinch strap can only take it in so far and the BC no longer holds securely without significant care when doing. I do fit club members for gear often and there is a significant range to adjust the height of this BC. The cummerbund and waist straps on the other hand can only cinch in so far and a loose BC is dangerous as it can slip up your body until the pockets are in your armpits. I would fit a medium BC to someone of your proportions.REY Y : It depend where you dive cold or warm . If cold medue be tight large be better. Try it out TIM A : it is best to your local your local dive shop to make sure of correct fit, you can't really go just by the chart, you need to try one onADVANCE C : Hi Sam I think that you can wear a medium one but the Large assures you that there will be no problem with the thicness of the dry suits you will use. And you can carry more ballastCHUCK B : Choose the large. The cumberbun will cinch down to compensate for the size. But you can't make the medium long enough to be comfortable. Hope this helpsPAUL H : Stick with the Medium. These BCD's tend to run larger than expected. I am 5'8", 190 and 38" waist. I bought the XL and I should have bought a Large.LISA D : I got this for my daughter, so not sure if I can answer
Shopper : Is this for males or females?GREG J : Genesis Omni is designed as a unisex BCD.AYBERK O : This is for Males.WALTER C : Hello The Genesis Omni is for Males -- the vests made specifically for females typically have a swivel joint of some kind on the straps as well as other features -- see the Agua Lung Libra and similar. I like the genesis ... large lift, 30# weight capacity for winter wetsuits and back buoyancy. Note: these are features that may not be priorities for women divers. Good LuckNICOLE K : My husband and I both have this BCD. It looks like this is the male version as the female version has a subtle floral design on the weight pockets. For what it's worth, we both love it!JEFFREY W : I would say more male oriented..RAYMOND S : I'm a male and the bc fits me just fine,it is a back inflation that takes some getting used to,due the fact when you are on the surface it tends to roll you on you face.my next bc will not be a back inflation.JEREMIE C : This was purchased for my little brother who is 5'10ft and 150 lbs. He Has been really happy with it. We dive the great lakes and Florida with it often. I would say that this bc could be for female or males. There are few specific things on bc's that I have found that make it gender specific. I recommend this overall.VP165030 K : This is a male BCD. However, it is pretty comfortable for female unless you have a huge chest area.JEFF A : Either, I'm a male but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't be perfectly acceptable for a female. I have been completely satisfied with this BCD. Very sturdyF. ALLAN V : Male.....CHRIS S : I would consider it unisex or gender neutral. I (a male) have worn it, I have also loaned it to females who had no fit/comfort issues with it.JOHN J : I used the Omni BCD for recreational diving. As an XL Male it worked very well. I imagine that a female can use it as well as long as the size is correct.
Shopper : Is there a combo octo and inflator hose that fits this bc?LeisurePro S : Check out the Sherwood Gemini (Sherwood and Genesis are sister companies) as a good combo octo.

Very good value

Overall a great value for those just getting started or for the value conscious. The integrated weight system is easy to use, there are metal D-rings unlike some lower cost BCDs' that use plastic rings and are subject to breakage. Appears to be well built. I just wish the zippers were metal. They're plastic and will break if abused even slightly, ask me how I know.....

Comfortable and easy to adjust

Pretty easy to adjust and get in and out of ,with plenty of front room. On the surface, it takes a bit of practice to avoid staying face forward.

Excellent BCD

This BCD works well, comfortable, streamlined and compact. The CQR2 weight system works great and has plenty of capacity for weights (I use 18 to 24 lbs depending on conditions and it accomodates them well). The boyancy capacity on the XL size is more than enough for me at 230lbs with Steel single tank. The only possible down side is that the bladder seems to narrow in the middle so that it is slow to trim when shifting from swimming on one side to the other. This is a great BC for the price.
