Abrasion Protection:
MORE PROTECTION than ANY other BC on the market! 2,600 denier, with 2 layers of heavy duty protection. 1,600 denier material over the entire outside of the 1,000 denier air-cell.
Attachment Points:
You have more flexibility than any other BC on the market! Use the attachment webbing (4 bar-tacked bands). Attach tools, lights, knives, etc in any angle you want. Attachment webbing also on right shoulder. Several D-rings are located in the front where you can control them.
Large Cargo Pockets
Pockets are large enough to actually get your hand inside to grab tools, light, etc even big enough to stow your octopus to reduce entanglement hazard. Keeps mud & gook out of the octopus.
Crotch strap, stability
Steady as she goes The two legged straps have the elastic wraps to help keep the excess strap from floating around. You may want to shorten (i,e, cut) it to reduce length of loose ends. One clip in rear with two straps between the legs.
2 tank bands the hard pack is designed for only one tank band. If it is properly secured, it is the only one you need. Amer-Sea has added a security belt for the tank. Now you have 2 bands for attaching some pony bottle straps.

Comments about Amer-Sea Amer-Sea Search TCB-25 BCD:
I use the Amer-Sea Search TCB in cold dark german lakes. I am a memeber of a local rescue organisation in Leverkusen/Germany. We dive every week even in winter and under ice. The Amer jacket fits very well, I had before several jackets ( AP Valves: Slimline; Commando; I tried an very expensive Poseidon wing jacket, the Scubapro master jacket ) but the Amer Sea fits best. It has a very good stability under water and this is even more important also at the surface. Even with a lamp at your side, you won´t drown when losing consciouness, you will not be turned to your side, your head sticks always out of the water. The red clour will be seen at miles.

Comments about Amer-Sea Amer-Sea Search TCB-25 BCD:
Good secure weight pockets. If you don't want integrated weights, you have four good size, accessable pockets. This unit is very heavy, buy something else for airline travel.
Solid construction, back padding, many D rings with room for lots more. Two leg straps are clumbersome but maybe can get away with using one or none if you don't overinflate?
I'm 6.00 and 200lbs..."Large" size would be too big for me if not for neopreme dry suit.
Comments about Amer-Sea Amer-Sea Search TCB-25 BCD:
This B.C. is the best I have ever had the chance to dive with. It has so much extra storage space and the integrated weight system is an awesome set up for both recreational or emergency situation diving. It is very dependable and I as a rescue/recovery diver consider it as a highly reccomendable purchase.

Comments about Amer-Sea Amer-Sea Search TCB-25 BCD:
I've been diving with this BCD for the last couple years and have been impressed with its durability, comfort and overall safety features. I dont expect to ever have to buy another BCD again. That being said, it's a bit of a pain attaching the tank with the 2-band system, but you're not going to lose it. The integrated weight system is also not extremely user friendly either. Cargo pockets provide tons of storage space for lights, knives, SMB/liftbag. Durability means a little extra weight. Overall, I would definitely recommend this BCD to anyone who needs a durable, flexible and safe piece of equipment.
