Brand: Cressi
Located in: Essential Equipment, Buoyancy Compensators
The Cressi Aquaride BCD is a versatile BCD for both the traveling diver and the professional diver. The durable, yet lightweight 420 Denier Nylon high lift air cell, a simplified harness for ease of donning and doffing and integrated Lock Aid quick-release weight system all make this one great Buoyancy Compensator.

The shape of the air cell with distribution of lift on the sides offers a natural trim when diving. The BCD is equipped with two large zippered accessory pockets for storage of your back-up light or small digital camera. Pockets supply more room then on other BCD's which can barely hold your dive gloves. Theintegrated Lock Aid quick-release weight system hold up to 20 lbs (9 kg), with 10 lbs (4.5 kg) in each pocket, and two additional rear non-releasable trim weight pockets that help increase stability in the water.

The two-piece back support is rigid for proper cylinder stability, but is fully padded for comfort. The elastic waistband/cummerbund harness assembly is an independent suspension system that allows the cylinder and the diver to keep proper stability and avoid cylinder shifting on the back, while allowing the BCD's air cell to fully inflate away from the diver not causing restriction or crushing effect as with non-ergonomic designs. Adjustable sternum straps along with both torso adjustment straps are equipped with quick-release buckles.

The BCD has three over-pressure relief/dump valves with two located on the left and right shoulders and a third lower valve on the rear right of the air cell. All three can be manually dumped two with pull cords and the other with the power inflator mechanism. There are four stainless steel D-rings on the shoulderstraps and two D-rings on the pocket lobes with two additional snap hooks for attachment of instruments and accessories.

Comments about Cressi Cressi Aquaride BCD:

Great BCD for an excellent price. Integrated weight system is a plus and much more comfortable than a weight belt. Used this BCD while on vacation in the Carribean. I will be trying it out this summer in the more frigid New England water. Very easy BCD to travel with and very comfortable in the water.
