this is a great bc. I use it for recreational depth wrecks and vacation. I'm very happy with it.

This is a great fitting comfortable BC that helps you achieve good buoyancy control, and lets you feel unconstricted at the same time. The next best thing to having gills and fins.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

I have logged over 600 dives on my Nighthawk BCD and haven't had a problem one with it. My other two BCD's are the ScubaPro Glide and Scubapro Ladyhawk. I have not used the other two but I loan them out to friends and have never had a complaint when they use them.

I have used scubapro, BC's and Regulators since 1972, I am still using their products, and your price knocked everyone else off the block

This is the best BC I have ever owned ~ Fit is perfect, Comfortable, Durable.. Great Product

Built well and comfortable. I like the metal d-rings and the intergated weight pockets. I recomend a strap weight pocket to help balance you when floating on the surface.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

Excellent, high-quality, reliable BC
Weight pockets - Holds plenty of weight, easy to remove/replace weight pockets in and out of water (for training purposes), Trim pockets help in balancing and buoyancy control
Storage Pockets - Large stow-away pocket
Buoyancy Control - Excellent buoyancy control, back inflate allows me to streamline better than in my old jacket style BC
Fit - Adjusts to fit well, easy to put on/take off on land, at surface, and at depth, Like scuba-pro's tank strap and clasp system
Only con (minor) - Would like to see more places to hook clips for accessories

I dive in Seattle, WA year round and find this BC to be extremely adaptable to any set-up, even after transitioning to a drysuit. I recently took the BC to Maui for 9 dives and was so glad I did. It performed flawlessly. The vest is easily adjustable, durable, and comfortable. My only issue with the BC is that the only pocket is a large pocket that unrolls from under one of the integrated weights. It could use a smaller more readily accesible pocket. Other than that, the perfect BC!

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

I bought this BC for my daughter because of her height and shape. The Ladyhawk was too short for her torso. She is very tall and thin. It fits her great and we both love how secure she fits in it and the control she has while diving. I also own a Knighthawk and love it. I have the Air2 and my daughter has the power inflator. Both are very well made and function without flaw.

Two drawbacks that I would change... A larger pocket would be nice and I would like to change the quick release on the weight pockets. You have to "pinch" the clip for release rather than just "pull" This is not a problem as long as you are versed on the proceedure. I find Scubapro makes a great product.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

The one thing you want in a BCD is ease of use, and the one purpose of a BCD is to adjust bouyancy. Adjusting bouyancy is the one of the most difficult things to do with this BCD because of the location of the dump valves. The shoulder mounted valve is situated on the front side of the shoulder. If you attempt to dump air, you must first place yourself in a vertical to slightly "leaned back" position so air inside the BCD is at the valve. Since most of us swim in a prone, face down position, that makes using the shoulder valve quite difficult. Similarly, if sitting on the surface, since this BCD has a back inflation bladder, it tends to make you sit on the surface in a "leaned forward" position, with your face in the water. Same problem; to get the air to the dump valve, you have to lean back. There is a second dump valve at the bottom of the BCD, but unless you are swimming somewhat head down, there is no air behind that valve, either. Having always to re-orient yourself to get air behind the dump valves to dump air is not the "ease of use" that I want in a BCD.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

I am a Padi Instructor and we have used the knighthawk as our student BC's for the past 3 years most show little to no wear and tear after 100's of dives. My personal BC is also the Knighthawk and I have over 500 dives on it with the only noticable wear being the color is fading a little.

As a down side there could be more D rings on it however there are plenty of areas you can add them. I added 1 on each side of the back plate and 2 on the tank strap, and even using a 8" diameter tank the strap closes and holds.

Great Design and the best Ive ever used

Works good for public safety diving, rescue diving, and for beginners and the recreational diver.

Great bc, you will not regret your purchase!

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

It's a very good bcd, but in my opinion should be more versatile, scubapro might have added the option of adapting double tanks, should at least place too more d-rings and instead of pocket weights should have placed real pockets. To be honest i use the pockets weights to store some stuff, like a small knife, a small slate and a small mask, but the access to this stuff it's possible but not easy. Very good position for the trimming pockets where i actually store my weights. Recommended to recreational divers who like things simple and durable. Mine has more than 700+ dives and it still works perfectly and until now the only thing i replaced was the LPI hose that came with the BCD, because the tank fell on the boat and broke it.

Multiple air dump valves a huge plus. Well designed all the way through.

Comments about Scubapro Scubapro Knighthawk BC, Black:

I have maybe 75 dives in this BC and with the exception of a front center clip breaking on my first dive (before evening getting in the water) it has beeb flawless. The design keeps everything in close so wreck diving is a cynch. Lite enough to make it comfortable for recreation drift dives and functional enough to use inspecting bridge supports or welds. How ever as far as warmth goes(though I have never relied on my BC for warmth) it is not warm. Over all good product. I will buy another when I need it. Also my wife dive a LadyHawk and finds it equally enjoyable and she did not suffer a broken fastner.
