Questions about this item:
Shopper im 5 6 and a half feet tall with a 29/30 inch waist and around 140 pounds i was thinking medium does that ound about right?
BRIAN K Hey There, I bought this BCD a while back and they do run a bit big. You should be fine with a medium. I wear an XL and I am 6'4" and 265lbs. Hope that helps. Keep Diving!
DAVID S sounds about right. but consider what thickness maximum you will wear under it. check their size chart. small may be too yight. better off a little larger as you can adjust it down.
THOMAS S I'm 5 ft 8, weigh 165 lbs and wear a medium. It's a little bit tight on me. Medium sounds right for you, especially if you gain 5 or 10 lbs over the life of the BC. I think a small would be too small for you.
PS The nighthawk is a great BC, just make sure to balance your weights between the back and the side release pockets.
RUBEN M Yes medium will fit you
DIANN R Yes, I am 6 ft and 140 lbs with 29 in waist-I ordered a M and am satisfed-
TOM S I,m 5'7" 170lbs. 42" chest and medium is perfect Don't forget back inflation BC is different then the ones you get at resorts and takes a little practice to get use to.
Hope this helps
Shopper will this bc work for a dual tank set up?
THOMAS C I cant tell you about a dual tank setup as I have used mine for a alu 80. The bcc is quality and I have been satisfied
ALEXANDER M Nope, just single tank.
GABRIEL R This BC is set up for a single tanks out of the box. The manual makes reference to a double tank setup, but I wouldn't bet my life on it. If one large cylinder is not enough, I'd recommend going with a fully customizable backplate, so you can upgrade the air bladder to provide the lift you require.
NATHANIEL D This BC has more than enough lift to use for dual tanks, but finding a good setup is tricky. It can be used with an OMS beaver tail system to use for sidemount diving. As a Tec diver, I would not recommend this BC if your primary goal is to use dual tanks, or add more than one pony. the Scuba Pro Tek series are great BC's and work much better for that, but if your use is primarily recreational, with an occasional sidemount or pony dive this is one of the best BC's available.
A.J. V I am 6'0, 200 lbs with a 34" waist and 42" chest...what size would be best? A large?
KIMBERLY K A large should fit you fine. My husband has a XL but he is little bigger than you. The knighthawk has the ability to expand if you need it to. My husband loves his knighthawk and I am on my second ladyhawk.
JAMES S It is always best to try on the BC for comfort...your weight and size should be fine for Large or Xtra Large BC, but you want the straps and overall size to fit your frame. The Bladder is large enough for recreational dives and unless you are doing technical dives or diving with drysuits and high amounts of weight like what we used during our Sheriff Dive Recovery call outs, the standard bladder will be fine. Technical diving might require a larger bladder for lifting large weights or a recovered victim.
I love the Scuba Pro Knighthawk and I would buy it again!

RICHARD O I am 5'-10", 235 lbs, waist 34", 42" chest, and I have a large. Been extermely happy with this BCD too!
ANDREW D Hi AJ.
I have this BC in a large. I'm 6'1", 200lbs with a 35 waist and it fits great. Definitely the right size for you.
If you end up picking this up, enjoy. I've had mine for a couple years now and love it. Great fit, comfortable, really thought out features.

DOUGLAS M I think you would be better of with an extra large. This BC has alot of adjustment in the straps. By the time you throw on a thick neoprene wet
suit or a dry suit, you may need the extra room provided by the extra large.
LORI S Go with the X-large. I have a 54 chest and a 38 waist and weigh 285. You will be happy with this BC. This BC is the closest BC to a technical BC you can get. For an avid diver, that does not want to do tech diving. This is the way to go. The lift is incredible. Use short bursts of air. You will be very amazed. The rise you get is wonderful. Also the BC has 3 ways to deflate. the valve above the left shoulder. Keeps you from sticking your hose way high up. A very nice feature.......B.J. Bobby...Master Scuba Diver.
MITCH K Im 5"10" 190lbs, 36 waist. 44 chest. i wear a medium. I had a large but it was too big. hope this helps
JAMES N Yes. I have roughly the same chest size and the the large fits nicely.
Maurice M i am 6' 3' waist 39' chest 45' weight 210 pounds what size would you recommend.?
KIMBERLY K I purchased this BC for my husband and he is about your size and he wears an XL
GABRIEL R L with a thin wetsuit, XL with a thick suit or a drysuit. Remember, with the perfect fit guarantee, if it dosen't fit, Leisurepro covers the shipping there and back.
MIKE H Maurice
Go with at least an XL. If you are diving wth a 7mm or dry suit go wth the 2XL
JACK A Hi Maurice---
I LOVE my BC, but I am 5'7 and a lot smaller than you!!
So, my advice--call and ask the Dive guys at LeisurePro directly.
I have bought from them for several years with NO problems--awesome service and always willing to help. I have sent back a number of items due to fit issues, and THEY resolved the problems!
Sorry I can't be of more help :(
DOUGLAS M Maurice,
I am pretty close to your size. I am 6'2'' with a 36 inch waste ,a 48 inch chest and weigh 220 lbs. I use a Scubapro Knighthawk XL and it fits me just fine. This BC has plenty of adjustment in the waste strap and cumberbund as well as the shoulder straps. The XL should just about fit you perfectly.
Shopper What is the lift capacity of this BC?
LeisurePro S The small has a lift capacity of 34 pounds, the rest of the sizes have a lift capacity of 46 pounds.
Shopper Does it have a carry handle?
LeisurePro S Yes, the Knighthawk has a backpack carry handle.
Shopper I am 6' 1" and weight 235, what size would you recommend?
LeisurePro S I would recommend the xlarge.
Shopper I am 6' 1 and weight around 215. What size would you recommend?
LeisurePro S I would recommend an XL.
Shopper I am a recreational diver and have never used a back inflated BCD before. Is there anything special about this or is it just a matter of taste?
NATHANIEL D If you will be using a dry suit at any point in time during your diving career, a back inflate BC is the best option.
LeisurePro S For recreation, it is mostly a matter of taste. Some people say a back inflated BCD feels less cumbersome in the water and reduces claustrophobia, but others get annoyed and say that back inflation pushes you face forward into the water when you are floating at the surface.
Shopper How many tank straps?
LeisurePro S This has a single tank strap.
Shopper I am 5'11" 225 lbs., 38" waist, 44" chest--what size would you recommend?
LeisurePro S I would recommend the XL.
Shopper I'm 5'10", 170 lbs, normal body type. Would a meidum be correct? What's the lift capacity of a medium?
LeisurePro S Yes, I would recommend the medium. It has 46 pounds of lift.
Shopper What is the "Air 2" everyone is talking about?
LeisurePro S The Air2 is an octopus designed by Scubapro-- it attaches to your BCD's inflator hose and eliminates the extra dangling hose of a traditional octopus. It usually is an accessory that has to be purchased seperatly. Here is the link so you can take a look.
Shopper Does either the Ladyhawk or the Knighthawk have a chest strap?
LeisurePro S Both the Ladyhawk and Knighthawk have sternum straps, but the strap on the Ladyhawk is positioned higher to fit a women's form.
Shopper What kind of material is the bladder made of?
LeisurePro S The bladder is made from 1000 denier nylon.
Shopper What size should I need? I'm 6'5, 38 waist, 48 chest and 275 pounds.
LeisurePro S I would recommend the 2XL.
Shopper What is the weight of this bcd?
LeisurePro S This BCD has a shipping weight of 8.85 pounds.
Shopper My son is 5'11, 34 waist, 38 chest, and under 150 lbs. Except for his height, he fits the small profile. He's 13 and will probably get taller. Which should I buy -the Small or Medium?
LeisurePro S If he's below 135 pounds, I would go with the small. Otherwise, I think he will be able to get away with the medium until he grows into it more fully.
Shopper Does this include an air 2?
LeisurePro S No, it can be purchased separately here. If you leave a note in the comments section of the checkout procedure, we can assemble it for you before shipping.
Shopper Is the air 2 option avalible through liesure pro?
LeisurePro S Yes. Please call our sales department and they can fix that order for you.
Shopper What hard weights work best for the pockets? and do you guys have a inflator hose?
LeisurePro S For hard weights use these (AQULWC) or soft (AQULWS) . For an inflator hose sku: AQULPH in 27" most likely.
