Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

I used this for 10 dives in Cozumel, my first time with a weight integrated BC. It was very comfortable and easy to use. It is twice as heavy as my old BC. i purchased this BC for both cold and warm water. I have not tested it in the cold yet but the weight pockets and high lift capacity should do well. Overall, very happy with it so far.

This is a nice fitting BC, comfortable and good in the water. The tank strap is has come loose when exiting the water on a few occasions, but once I sorted the adjustment it's been great.

Not much to say... after 600+ immersions with it, I'm buying a new one.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Bought this sight unseen but I am VERY pleased. Easy to get on and off. Weight pockets are large and weights slide in easily. Ample D rings to hold accessories. Very comfortable and not restrictive. Time will tell if it holds up but it feels well constructed. Will definitely look at TUSA equipment in the future. Good product.

Coming fron the SeaQuest Pro QD I thought I would never find something that comfortable, but the Tusa Platina Evolution went over expectations. The adjustability is better than anything else and it's less bulky on the sides than the Pro QD.

Fits like a glove. No problems

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Perfect bc. Comfortable, fits like a glove, definitely made to last. The weight integrated pockets are the best iv ever used, your weights aren't going anywhere. Iv used bcs' where the pockets continuously fall out only to hang by a strap by the time you find out. All my expectations of this bc were blown out the water. This bc is great from beginners to advanced divers. I just recently got back from a very cold dive where i bottomed out at 85ft, and it worked without a flaw.

great bc integrated weights are a little different but no big deal.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Excellent BCD and features. The tank strap on stability plate are excellent. Comfortable. Very adjustable. I dived a ScubaPro ProPac for 15 years, and I loved it. I feel the same about this BCD.

Great BCD, Fell in love after the first use.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Great value. I used this BCD for my open water class and this thing worked like a champ. I would order this BCD again and again.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Great BC, I bought this BC over 4 years ago when I got my open water cert. Have done many dives here in Hawaii. I left the equipement at my perents house when I left the islands for a year. When I came back I used the gear and noticed the inflator leaks a tiny bit. Probably due to it sitting for over a year. Although never had any problems with inflators on my scubapro BC's.

Other than the inflator leaking a bit the vest has served me vary well and never had any other problems. Its over 4 years old and I still use it really heavy since I got back to the islands.

Don't pass up for the price!

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

I have used this BC for 20 warm water dives so far. It feels very bulky, and although big pockets are handy, the independent harness idea means the whole jacket seems to move around on you too much.

The L/XL size was too big for me at 170 lbs and 6 foot. It's oversized. Might be fine for a bigger guy. I tried my wife's Selene on and it felt much better as it didn't move around as much underwater.

Nice weight pockets, lots of fasteners, but quite heavy for travel. The backplate adds lots of weight. Nice inflater valve. Dump valve strings are a bit flimsy. No suitable knife attachment or flashlight pocket. Doesn't fold up well for travel so takes up too much space, unlike it's sister, the Selene.

If you are a woman considering this BC, forget it.

This jacket might work better if I had a thick heavy wetsuit or drysuit on and was diving locally.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Very comfortable and can't beat this for the price. Lots of clips and D rings for all the add-ons. Trim pockets good for weights at rear. Easy to use and well made.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

I used this on about my 3 diving experience...and found it to be a fantastic improvement over the BC supplied in my course.

The intergrated weight system is FANTASTIC, and really easy to use. I will never go back to a weight belt if I can help it.

This BC has lots of adjustment, so you can really customize the fit.

I loved the big storage pockets (2 zippered, and 2 semi open behind the zips as well)... and lots of nicely placed hooks etc too.

This thing inflates and deflates really smoothly and evenly...making it easy to adjust precise amounts to achieve neutral buoyancy. Also required little effort to manually deflate too.

The only thing I would change, is the colour of the surface WHISTLE...it's BLACK...RED or ORANGE would make more sense...but hey, the inclusion of the whistle was a bonus anyway ;)

I would highly recommend this BC, ... FANTASTIC and absolute bargain too !

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Absolutly the best BCD I have ever worn. Fits like a glove and is very comfortable. Love the weight pockets and the quick release is great. I don't think I will ever have to buy another unless I just wear it out!

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Good build quality and functional.

I bought one for my wife and for myself. My wife loves it and says it is the most comfortable BC she has ever worn. I find it a little uncomfortable (I find every BC uncomfortable though) but very functional with decent sized pockets and plenty of D-rings and other places for clipping accessories.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

I am rather buoyant, with the integrated weight system I can fit a 5 and a 4 pound weight in each of the front weight pouches. I only use 2 lbs weights in the back trim pouches, but there is room for 5lbs in them. The pockets have plenty of room for everything I need with room extra. Fits very nice without squeezing when inflated and is easy to move around in, my dad got a different BCD and he can not lift his arms up due to his straps being so wide, these straps are durable and not as bulky.
I would recommend getting a retractor or a second hose clip for you computer, it only comes with one hose clip that can hold 2 hoses. I keep my alternate on my right and my computer on my left. There is a small strap for the computer that was put on a d-ring, but it was to short to see the computer while diving and I don't like taking it off the clip every time I want to see how much pressure is in my tank.

I have used this BCD on over 10 dives and it has been wonderful, a lot better than the rentals and the one my uncle let me use. The dump valves work great and are very easy to get to.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Bought this for my trip to Similan Islands, Thailand for an exhausting 15 dives in 4 days trip. I was absolutley satified with this. The price was exceptional and the fit and adjustability had me wearing this BCD around the house before I left. The padding and adjustments made this truly a pleasure to dive in. At depth or on the surface with full inflation it still is like a glove. Want a good BCD, I have used tons of them but this one hit the nail on the head! Almost forgot, I added the TUSA inflator, integrated octo and it too worked great.

Very easy to use

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Great BC for the money. Offers good lift, balance and features such as pockets and plenty of D rings. Heavy duty material makes also this BC very durable.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

only feature I would change to make it better would be a carry handle rather then the strap.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

Love it! I gave it 4 stars not 5 because it's a bit bulky and heavy, not for travel. Also, I'm 5'4", 115 lbs, and size small is still too big for me. Purchased a crotch strap [...] and it works great.

Comments about Tusa Tusa Platina Evolution BCD, Black (BCJ-3860):

I would buy it again.
