Questions & Answers

Bill H : I have on older Scubapro Glide X jacket style BCD.  Does the Litehawk with the integrated weight pocket adds still weight less than my GlideX?darrick c : Hello Bill, the weight on this BCD is 7.07lbs.
ROBERT G : Does the scubapro lite hawk include integrated weight pockets?Mario C : No it does not. it has trim weights on the back. It has 2 accessories pockets, that are not intended for weightsKEVIN B : Yes, but they are 4 fixed pockets that each hold weights and buckle shut. They are not like weight pouch quick releases seen in most full BCs. I’m a big guy and I can easily get 14# in the BC pockets. Note 2 are “hidden” up near the bladder back area. Also the belt is a standard weight belt material with a buckle and I guess you could thread a few weights on there This is best for light weights and tropical travel use. Or if you need more than about 12-14# I’d suggest just using a weight belt. 100s of dives on mine and I love it. Never use my full BCD anymore. I am a bit of a minimalist…. If you like to hang a scuba store full of accessories off your BC that could be a problem as it has only a couple of rings.C D : I returned this BC because they changed the weight pockets. The earlier version had pockets that could be used either upright or upside down or removed. The new version has them sewn on in one position which was awkward and way too far back. The BCs are all the same size and the large and xtra large just have longer straps and that puts everything in odd positions.ROBERT S : Yes, holds limited lb. I think it is 5 pounds a Pocket.MITCH H : yes, it has two trim pockets and two front pockets. I love this BC and have used it for several years. i bought my wife one as well and she loves it. Great for traveling.
Adrienne B : What is the minimum cumberbelt length on XS/SM?Mario C : about 11 inches
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?SAM P : It's high quality, inexpensive, and super sexy.

Best travel BC

I have used this on 100's of dives now mainly for tropical diving. It is great to pack and easy on weight restrictions. Very comfortable and functions great as all Scubapro products. Shooting photo/ videos on my dives, I find this BC allows great buoyancy control and streamlining.

Not for petite asian women

I bought this couple of week ago from a dive shop in Malaysia via online. I didn't get to try it on beforehand because there was no stock at the stores I went. I spoke to the dive shop owner whose also an avid diver, he advised me this model was better than Hydros LTS and Aqualung Zuma which I was eyeing for at that moment. I told him that I was a petite asian woman. I told him my height which was shorter than 150cm. He still believed that Scubapro Litehawk a better choice. So I took his words for it and bought the model. Yes, without seeing or fitting. Turn out, it wasn't for a small build woman even with the smallest of the size available. The chest strap, sit right on the breast. And definitely not comfortable. And with the weight of the tank, it would surely make wearing it more discomfort, perhaps painful. The features were great nonetheless, dry faster and long lasting. It was good for men no doubt. Not sure why, I couldn't attach my photo.

Material could be of higher denier and BCD lighter

BCD material won't last rigorous use. BCD could be made a tad lighter -with ease.

THE ULTIMATE STREAMLINED TRAVEL BC:
Lightweight, low-profile design is built with dive-trekkers in mind.
In the world of scuba diving, nothing exemplifies freedom of movement better than the feeling you get wearing minimal thermal protections and a bulk-free, back-flotation BC while cruising the crystalline waters of the tropics. Especially if it's a back-flotation BC built specifically for that purpose. Like the Litehawk. The Litehawk is the ultimate back-flotation travel BC. Its lightweight, ultra-slimmed-down design and soft, flexible backpack lays flat and compact for packing. The adjustable belt-style waist strap with nylon buckle can be cinched up snug, and the quick-release rotating shoulder buckles that let you route the straps under your arms, plus the two-position sternum strap, hug your body like the BC was custom-made for you.

But you can't fully appreciate the Litehawk until you get it in the water. With the tank secured by a lower primary tank band, an upper support strap and an adjustable yoke strap, the entire system locks in, ensuring a controlled, stable ride at depth. The BC carries no inherent buoyancy so only minimal ballast weight is required. Consequently, the two non-ditching pockets can be used to carry accessories. Optional quick-release weight pockets are also available, and four aluminum D-rings provide convenient clip-on points for additional gear. The Litehawk provides a streamlined package that travels easy and delivers a comfortable, stable ride at depth, making it well-suited for both tropical and temperate water travel diving.

Compact, lightweight design with soft backpack makes it perfect for dive travel. Constructed of 420-Denier nylon for lightweight and long-lasting durability. Low-profile, progressively-shaped rear air cell increases range of motion while decreasing drag. Elastic cords rein in the air cell when partially inflated and help control deflation. Clutter-free ergonomic harness eliminates bulk and enhances freedom of movement. Multiple band and strap system keeps tank secure and increases stability at depth. Three-dump deflation system lets you to dump air from a variety of underwater positions. Adjustable belt-style waist strap with nylon buckle offers a snug fit for any body shape. Rotating quick-release shoulder buckles allow you to optimize the routing of your shoulder straps to maximize fit. Two basic accessory pockets are included. Optional weight pockets are available. Two rear trim pouches allow you to achieve a well-balanced swimming position. Four aluminum D-rings provide convenient clip-on points for additional gear. Available in multiple sizes with 29.2 lbs. (13.2kg) of lift capacity. BCD weighs between 4.8 and 5 lbs. (2.2 to 2.3kg) depending on sizes. BCD includes owner manuals.

BCD comes equipped with Scubapro's AIR2 Breathable Inflator. When you took dive lessons you learned to perform specific skills to make you safe and comfortable underwater and at the surface. One of those skills was buoyancy control. Once you start diving for fun you use your buoyancy control device constantly throughout the dive. Your octopus or alternate air source devise on the other hand is never used unless there is an emergency out-of-air situation. Reacting properly in an out of air situation can make the difference between an eventful dive and a tragedy. If your alternate air source and your BCD inflator device are one and the same, you will always know where to find it in an emergency. AIR2 is more than a simple inflator. Its components design takes advantage from the best regulator technology to guarantee maximum efficiency and reliability. As an inflator AIR2 provides perfect pressure control for a great buoyancy management. Ergonomic shape makes it easy-to-handle in any circumstances and it can be emptied by simply pressing the exhaust button.

AIR2's air balanced power inflator provides smooth and reliable inflation at all tank pressures. Single hose configuration eliminates the need for a separate alternate air source. Fixed VIVA flow vane for safe and uncomplicated use one-hand operation for instinctive and simple operation the self-flushing mechanism requires just one push on the purge to clear away all dirt. The AIR2 uses a classic downstream valve for less maintenance and reliability. The housing is a precision molded carbon fiber and techno-polymer impact resistant design that weighs 6.7 oz (190g). The AIR2 comes with a 3/8" threaded 27.56" (70 cm) high-flow low-pressure hose.
