Very nice BCD. I would have preferred 2 tank straps, but other than that it is just fine.

I have had numerous BCD's since the 70s. This meets all my needs nicely. Once I got the used to the weight system I found it to be excellent. Another reviewer mentioned the weight system was stiff to begin with and suggested working it a few times. Good advise. I have been on several local San Diego dives using it with my drysuit.

Excellent BCD and a great value. We have 2 of them with about 70 dives on each, and they have been great. Although this is the older model, they are very similar to the current version, and you can't beat the price.

I prefer the vest style BC and tried several before settling on this Tusa. It?s very comfortable and fits well. Although there are travel BCs that are lighter, this one is not too heavy. I?ve been diving for almost forty years, so my body is less able to tolerate a heavy load deck side. This piece helps me keep the overall ?land? weight down. Very happy with my purchase.

Very happy with it. Gave it a good test run as soon as I got it. Excellent quality and everything works as designed. Excellent price for a quality product.

I'm not a scuba pro, but this worked well as I thought it would. It is lightweight, so it worked well traveling to Florida. As a tall skinny person I also liked the adjustability in the velcro waist strap. Completely air tight.

It came exactly the day it was suppose to arrive. It came in a very nice box and when opening it, it was safe and protected everywhere. It was wrapped around plastic bags very nicely. The BCD fit perfectly.

Great BCD for the money. I have been diving my travel BCD and wanted a jacket style for a back up. This does run a little big so ordered a M and fits perfect.

It’s a gift for my husband so I haven’t opened the box to look at it. I’m not a diver so I wouldn’t know.

The TUSA Sigma II is a great value. It is a no frills jacket style BC with integrated weight capability. The materials are of good quality and it is a good overall value. The BC lacks a second shoulder dump and knife mounting point grommets.

I was very happy with my first puchase from leisure pro! Great customer service and i used the live chat for consult on sizing. It fits great, looked cooler in real life, the quality of this bcd has met my expectations and im very satisfied. Tusa has been a family favorite since i was a child. Still is. Great, sturdy, and pro quality bcd for an entry level price.

I bought this BCD for my wife who recently became an OWD. This is an easy system to operate with HUGE storage pockets and an superb integrated weight system. It’s light weight, rugged and looks awesome. The only negative thing I can think of is the lack of different types of colors, but this is a minor item compared to how good this BCD truly is. The next, major positive is the price. This has to be the most affordable, quality BCD with integrated weights on the market. High quality ? Affordable ? Ease of use ? Five stars!

Overall a solid BC. Do miss having a vent on the right shoulder though. These seem to run a little large. Weight pockets are a bit tricky to get secured, but once you have the hang of it they lock in very well.

Very comfortable fit, I like how well balanced it is in the water. I'm new to diving and after trying out different bc's from friends, I ended up buying one of these for myself. Highly recommended.

Nice quality BCD, sturdy fabric, good (and wide range) fit. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars in the weight buckle system is very awkward and difficult to use but with a little practice I have worked it out... For the price I paid on Leisure Pro I recommend this BC for just about anyone who wants a deal.

Decent BC, especially for the money. Bought this during the 12 days of Christmas sale in 2018 and used it on over 20 dives so far. Can't beat it for the price I bought it for.

I am 5' 10" 190lbs. I purchased a large but a medium would probably fit better. It does have a large range of fit adjustments but I am at the smallest fit possible and it is still a little loose. I had to use it before I could exchange it. Next- I lost one of my weight pockets on the second dive of my first day of use--the locking system seems very secure but it takes a strong and concentrated effort to lock it. Only one large stainless ring ( I use this one for my camera). Several other small plastic rings which are more difficult to locate while diving. Two very nice double zippered pockets easy to use while diving. I really like the jacket style for bouyoncy, especially on the surface. After 12 dives the quality seems very good for a reasonably priced bcd.

It looks and feels really sound. Haven’t had a chance to use it in the water yet but like thenasic design and weight system. Great price and fast delivery!

The item was a bit large. They exchanged it for a smaller one and the BC was perfect and the exchange went very smooth. Great seller.

My wife and I did our PADI confined water dives in these, and after renting a few other styles of BCDs since then, we came back this BCD. For a beginner diver, this is a great BCD. It’s comfortable, has huge pockets, and comes with numerous rings to clip your gear to. The size runs a bit large, so if you’re on the fence between sizes, lean towards the smaller size. I’m 6’, 220 lbs and went with the L/XL. It fits alright, but my wife’s M/L is just as comfortable. Would have been a 5-star rating but for the size.

This bc is excellent for the price! The adjustable cumber bun makes it easy to fit any body type. The trim weight pockets are nice to have that other bcd's in the same price range do not offer. Its not the lightest bcd on the market but it folds up nicely for travel. As far as sizing goes, I am 6'1 and 180-183 lbs and I got the medium, I feel it fits well with plenty of room for adjustment if needed.

Fantastic BC and an amazing value
By Jarrod S.
Needed to replace my 1990s US Divers Cousteau BC (because it doesn't fit any more). I was not initially considering the Tusa brand but when I tried on last year's Liberator Sigma model at a local shop was hooked. The new Sigma II model adds upgraded padding on the inside of the back plate, but sacrifices an integrated accessory clip. A wise tradeoff if you ask me. These can be adjusted to fit just about any size/shape person. I'll certainly never need to replace this due to weight loss o...

Liberator Sigma II Buoyancy Compensator is a heavy-duty, wrap-around jacket Style BC that utilizes TUSA's Advanced Weight Loading System and Ultimate Stabilizing Harness, which ensures security and stability.
A secure single locking integrated weight system that allows you to quickly and easily secure your weight pockets. The A.W.L.S. allows the diver to insert weights into the weight-cartridges and load them easily into the front of the BC jacket.
TUSA’s Ultimate Stabilizing Harness completely eliminates tank roll and delivers an amazing fit. The U.S.H. securely holds the air cylinder in place with optimally placed rails and brings the tank closer to the body increasing tank control while reducing weight.
The highly anticipated BC-0101 Liberator Sigma II Buoyancy Compensator is a heavy-duty, wrap-around jacket Style BC that utilizes TUSA's Advanced Weight Loading System and Ultimate Stabilizing Harness, which ensures security and stability. With its two large, double zippered pockets with mesh drainage, you can maximize utility and function. TUSA's Advanced Weight Loading System (AWLS) allows the diver to insert weights into the weight-cartridges and loading them easily into the front of the BC jacket. Additionally, with weight distribution to the shoulder area, the weighted-down feeling that is traditionally associated with weight belts is eliminated. Weight cartridges can accommodate from 8 lbs. (3.63 kg) to 10 lbs. (4.54 kg) of weight in each cartridge and two rear trim pockets can hold up to 4 lbs. (2 kg) in each non-releasable pocket. The AWLS weight cartridges are easy to release in an emergency, but the safety lock makes sure that they do not release accidentally.
The key to comfort with the Liberator Sigma II BCD is its Independent Harness System (IHS). The IHS isolates the BC jacket's harness from the air cell, tightly supporting the tank even with changes in air cell inflation/deflation. The IHS prevents tank slippage and eliminates any gaps between the tank and your back. The Liberator Sigma II BCD uses TUSA's next generation IHS featuring an Integrated-Carry-Handle, additional adjustability to dial in a perfect fit and a neutrally buoyant construction allowing the diver to shed the lead removing approximately 2 lbs. (1 kg) of lead from their system. TUSA's Ultimate Stabilizing Harness (USH) completely-eliminates tank roll and delivers an amazing fit. The USH securely holds the air cylinder in place with optimally placed rails and brings the tank closer to the body increasing tank control while reducing weight.
The RITETITE buckle is a 2-position cam strap for quick and easy adjustment. While the strap is being looped through the buckle, the buckle stays in place without needing to be held. This allows for more control and stability. This feature is part of all TUSA BCJ's. The BCD has an adjustable sternum strap for maximum comfort. The W.S.S. integrates the adjustable shoulder harness system with the rear stabilizing plate and cummerbund to effectively unload the hips while ensuring a snug fit. BCD is made from durable 500-Cordura nylon with an internal urethane laminated air cell. BCD has, 2-large zippered pockets for storage of accessories. Torso adjustable shoulder straps provide excellent comfort and adjustable waist strap with cummerbund provides precise adjustment of harness. All straps are equipped with squeeze-style" side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. Buoyancy is controlled by TUSA's patented O.P.E.V. Quick inflate/Deflate System. Trimming buoyancy is easy with 2-dump/overpressure relief valves. BCD provides 18 lbs. to 46 lbs. (8.16 kg to 20.9 kg) of lift depending on the BCD size. Accessory attachment is made easy with 1-stainless-steel D-ring and 4-resin D-rings. BCD comes with an owner's manual and a 3/8" threaded low-pressure (LP) hose.
