Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
It is comfortable, easily adjusted and travels well. It is good for warm water dives but will not hold enough weight for me with a 7mm full suit in cold water.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
great BC for the price! its perfect for any kind of diving. the only thing is that i wish there are 2 valves to dump the air, not just one in the bottom. (some BC i have seen has another valve on the right shoulder also.)

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
This is a really good BCD. The weight pockets (CQR2)are well designed with zippers instead of velcro. Placement of the pockets is easily reached without having to look for the zipper lanyards. The steel D-rings are nice and of course it's pro kit ready. Relatively light but very sturdy. Dual tank straps keep the tank from slipping. If you're looking for a rear inflated BCD this is a great choice and you can't beat it for the price.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
It's considered like a back BCD, it's very confortable in the water and gives you complete freedom to move your arms.
Very fast delivery and the item arrived in good condition.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
This is my first BCD, so far I love it and found it way better that the rental BCDs. It allows you to move your arms very easily and you don't even feel that you are wearing a BCD!

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
I’ve used this BC both during summer and winter diving. It is better suited for warm than cold water applications but will accommodate both. Considering the price, I’m very happy with this product

from Monterey, CA on 10/29/2007
Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
I have 100 dives on it and the weight pockets are torn (toast). Probably because of the demands of research diving. This BC is NOT a good first, a good first should be JACKET STYLE. Back inflate BC's (like this one) are great and streamlined underwater, but tend to turn you on your face when you are bobing at the surface. For the price, this BC is fine, but if plan to dive a lot, spend the extra money on a tough BC or a backplate.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
Light & easy to pack. Very good at trim adjustment - positions diver easily. I've enjoyed owning this BC and recommend it to others who travel to warm water.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
This is a good FIRST BC. If you don't want to spend a lot of money but get a good product this is a good buy. I wish they had put a handle on the rear of the BC. It would make life easier when carrying this around and holding it up as you slide it down the tank. Other than that it works great.

Comments about Genesis Genesis Tropic BCD Black:
Provides the best postioning of the diver out of the 4 different BC's I have worn. I like the non-jacket style with front pockets. I find it very functional and low drag.
