Comments about Aqualung Sea Quest Latitude XLT BC:

For the last 20 years, I have used Scubapro stab jackets. I have about 2 dozen dives in the Latitude XLT. It is comfortable, adjustable, and easy to use. I like the dump valves at the shoulder and hip, and I really like the auto inflator/emergency second stage that came with mine. Pockets are roomy and the integrated weight system works very well. It also has trim weight pockets on the tank strap, and I like those a lot because (a)they enable broader distribution of weight, and (b) if you have to "blow and go", having weight in the trim pockets moderates the ascension rate. I would prefer stainless d-rings, but the plastic ones work. Overall, I still prefer the Scubapro Classic, but this jacket is more than adequate.

I was using a Zeagle BCD before this one and i like the Sea-Quest a LOT more. It's more stream line than the Zeagle and at the surface having the bladder wrap around you makes floating easy. I would highly recommend this BC to anyone. I'm 6'8" and the XL fits like a glove. So it is definitely a good BC for big guys. Only down side is i wish it had more D rings, otherwise it's an amazing BC and i'll get a lot of use out of it.

I have been diving for over 20 years and have owned many B.C.s of different brands and styles. I say this one is the best so far because with the good fit (provided by the adjustment devices and its profile) and integrated weight system, it would not ride up above your shoulders when your floating on the surface. I no longer need jock straps to keep the B.C. in place. It keeps my head way above the water on the surface even during swells and significant waves. This, when I'm supporting my housed SLR camera in my tummy and leaning backwards. It's trim profile eliminates drag underwater and when swimming on your back in the surface. In fact, I use less effort when I'm swimming towards the boat or skiff at the surface on my back. I found thiS is the most practical way to swim at the surface because of my camera rig. The weight pockets make it easy to add or subtract weights to suit your indidual needs, so as to keeep your body from leaning/tilting to one side caused by the destribution of your console, dive lites, wrist computers, pony bottle, etc. It is somewhat difficult to get objects from the main pockets of the B.C. but this may be solved by selecting smaller signalling mirror, sausage,etc to put there.

Have owned this for some time, trained in it and bought one, love it. This does it all, would like steel rings instead of plastic, but other than that it has everything you need. Lots of holders and pockets, have room for all you will need to take with you. I really like the weight system, easy to use and the back weights are just perfect, adds to the stability of the system. What impresses me the most is the added feature to remove the weights to put it on with the tank and then add the weights. Less to try to handle at once and make the unit much more balanced,
I would highly recommend this to anyone, starting out to a heavy rec diver. I will buy one just like this when this one wears out!!
