Questions & Answers

Tim P : Does this bc have a carrying handle in the backplate?HOLLIE S : It does not because it actually doesn't have a full backplate. It has a smaller one that still lends tank support, but doesn't go all the way up (thus no handle) so that the product is easier to pack it for travel.Adam B : Negative.
ANTONIO N : Does the Scubapro Equator include the low pressure hose?Ronald M : yesWILLEM M : yes it doesERIC A : Yes it's included with the BCDHarry Chapman C : YesBethany E : Yes, a low pressure hose is included when purchasing this BCD
JAMES S : warranty for this bc?YAN G : 24 month Limited warranty.
WARREN G : How much does it weigh?WILLEM M : I have a large which is approx. 7lbsB C : 8 Lbs
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?KEVIN B : On sale and that Scuba Pro may be of better quality.william c : The features including the low profile integrated weights/pull tab and fold-ability of the BC. Also the Scubapro brand is first rate.HOWARD R : Jacket style. 410 thick Denier nylon tough, but still lighter for travel than my 1year old bcd.Stuart W : Been diving on the same BCD for over 25 yr's, used to instruct (yes only dived using my ScubaPro BCD - completed 1,500+ divers with it) & it was an ex-rental when I purchased it... So why did I go back to Scubapro for a BDC - I'm looking forward to another 20+ years (simple really). Also, the quality of my wife's 5 year old BC looks the same. Not a Scuba Pro fan boy, don't own anything else from them and have all the other major brands for other items. Only leisure dive now but want it to last.Ronald M : Good price, good manufacturer and Solid on-line reviews. I like the fastex clip integrated weight closures... no chance of weight pocket accidently releasing (common issue with pull tab designs)the fastex release is almost as fast and more secure.

I would buy this product again

Delivery was faster than I expected, always is. If I can't find something locally, or even when I do find it, I always check here before purchasing because the prices are great. 9 times out of 10 I can find it here on Leisure Pro for less cash out of pocket which is always a bonus!

Excellent BCD AND wonderful service! The folks at LeisurePro know their product and also how to treat a customer.

The Scubapro Equator BCD is a bullet proof jacket style, is now even better, and shouldn't be limited to travel diving. The comfort and technical features will convince you to use it in all your dive adventures. BC has an easy to fold small backpack for lightweight travel, water draining and Airnet back padding for super comfort. The Equator includes Scubapro Balanced Power Inflator (BPI), corrugated hose, elbow and low-profile dump valves using the latest technology for full safety and comfort. The BPI is equipped with a cable activated pull dump mechanism on the left shoulder. There is a right shoulder and right lower rear over pressure relief/pull dump valves, both equipped with pull cords for ease of trimming buoyancy. The BPI comes with a 3/8" threaded low-pressure (LP) quick-disconnect hose.

BCD has a super cinch tank band with redesigned double tank straps, lightweight plastic buckle and easy insert webbing. The Equator BCD Jacket is built from strong and durable 420-D nylon fabric with a soft neck finishing for added comfort. There is plenty of room for accessories and gear attachment with 6-stainless-steel D-rings, knife grommets, and octopus-pockets on both sides. In addition, there are 2-zippered pockets with branded pull tabs for easy use and storage of a dive light, gloves or other accessory items.

The Equator BCD has integrated weight pockets with low-profile buckles and can hold 11 lbs. (5k g) in each pocket. The BCD has multiple adjustments for a perfect fit, including torso adjustable shoulder straps with rotating shoulder buckles, adjustable sternum and waist straps all equipped with squeeze-style" side release buckles for ease of donning and doffing. The waist strap is also equipped with a comfortable cummerbund. This black BCD has red shoulder line piping for a touch of style. The Equator Jacket BCD provides 22.5 lbs. to 38.2 lbs. (10.2 kg to 17.33 kg) of lift depending on the size. BCD comes with an owner's manual.
