Awesome BC. Hybrid Jacket style makes it easy to stay horizontal while diving, and easy to stay upright at the surface. Great integrated weight system, great tank band system, lots of dump valves. Good number of d-rings, but I'd like a couple more.... very comfortable cumberbun and over all fit. Holds tank securely - no rolling or shifting. Although the Air 2 Octo-Inflator is great, I substituted and Atomic SS1 to go with my other Atomic regulators and am very happy with the setup. Wou...

Scubapro Glide BC

Scubapro Glide BC

The Glide is a front-adjustable BCD with special design features to maximize comfort, fit and performance. The Glide comes with a new Y-Fit shoulder design that adapts to the body better, allowing for excellent control and range of motion for arms. The stainless steel triangular ring manages the forces in the Y’s center, balancing pressure over the body and keeping the harness under control, regardless of dive conditions or your position in the water. The lower strap is connected to the backpack where it meets the cummerbund, creating a safe and comfortable link. The dump system includes three new-generation valves that allow you to deflate the wraparound bladder in any swimming position.

Features You Can Rely On:

• Constructed of 420 denier nylon for light weight and long-lasting durability.
• Wraparound air bladder retains its cradle-like shape even when fully inflated.
• New Y-Fit shoulders with a triangular stainless steel ring balance the pressure on the body to maximize fit and comfort.
• Soft neoprene neck and padded backpack optimize comfort.
• Adjustable cummerbund compensates for suit compression, ensuring a snug fit at varying depths.

The Scubapro Glide BC will allow you to experience extremely comfortable diving. The Scubapro exclusive jacket style wrap-around air bladder retains its cradle like shape even when fully inflated. Fully adjustable, it comes with an integrated weight system and a wide range of exceptional features. The Glide is a weight integrated design with both releasable weight pockets with capacities from 20 lbs. to 24 lbs. (9 kg to 11kg) and non-releasable rear trim weight pockets with 6 lbs. to 10 lbs. (2.7 kg to 4.5kg) capacities. The BC comes equipped with Scubapro's a stainless-steel cam-action buckle system for easy adjustment and sure grip. The BCD bladder is made from durable 420-denier nylon with a polyurethane external coating, a urethane internal laminate and is radio frequency (RF) welded for airtight integrity.

A custom fit is ensured with the BCD's fully adjustable cummerbund, torso, waist and sternum adjustable strap assemblies. All straps are equipped with "squeeze-style" side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. The BCD provides ultimate comfort with its rotating torso buckles, and padded back pack. Attachment and storage or accessory items are not a problem with the 4-stainless steel D-rings and 2-zippered side pockets. The BC also has grommets for mounting of a BC knife.

To control your buoyancy the Glide comes with a large shoulder overpressure relief valve with manual pull dump cord and Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator Mechanism. Scubapro's Balanced Power Inflator provides a high inflation speed, especially at depth. Inflator has different shaped inflation and purge buttons for easy use even in extremely low light or murky water conditions. Inflator is also equipped with a rapid pull dump mechanism with cable pull for easy deflation of the air bladder. Included with the inflator is a 3/8" threaded low pressure hose for attachment to the first stage regulator. The Glide BCD comes in multiple sizes with lift capacities ranging from 22.5 lbs. to 38.2 lbs. (10.2 kg to 17.3kg) and weighs 8.20 lbs. to 9.8 lbs. (3.71 kg to 4.44kg) depending on the BCD's size. BCD is available in multiple colors, and comes with an owner's manual.

Questions & Answers

Questions about this item:

Shopper  5 ft ten, 1789 lbs - I dive everything from 3 mil shorty to an 8/7 semidry would this BC be able to handle all of that? Currently use an older SC Glide and it does although the 8/7 pushes it to the limit
darrick c  Hello, yes you would be able to use this in either warm or cold water style diving. Just make sure you properly size for both thickness of wetsuit.
WILLIAM S  I'm about the same size and mine works well with 3 mil or just a swim suit. Never used a semidry.
Shopper  What happens with the warranty? Any difference with buying a new one?
