About Scubapro Pilot
The Scuba Pro Pilot BCD is a highly reliable adjustable jacket considered a favorite by diving centers and resorts worldwide due to its simplicity and durability. This 420-denier nylon Jacket is also ideal for traveling divers due to its fast drying and low weight characteristics. Front adjustable torso design allows for multiple-variations of fit, regardless of the thickness of the exposure suit. Rotating quick release shoulder buckles and adjustable shoulder straps, adjustable sternum strap and waist strap with cummerbund all improve fit. All these straps are equipped with squeeze-style" quick release buckles for easy donning and doffing.
For proper buoyancy control the Pilot BCD comes with Scubapro's Air2 Breathable Inflator and has a 3-dump deflation system that enables divers to dump air from a variety of underwater positions. In the up-right position you can use either the left-or-right shoulder pull-dumps with the right shoulder pull cord or the left shoulder integrated cable activated Air2 shoulder dump. When inverted in the water the lower right rear pull dump can facilitate buoyancy trim.
Comfort is assured with the padded back that incorporates a lightweight and quick drying material. The wrap-around air cell and harness ensure ergonomic inflation of air cell to provide a streamlined outline, and improved load distribution. The Pilot BCD comes in multiple sizes and provides from 15 to 40 lbs (6.8 to 18.4 kg) of lift from size 2XS to 2XL. BCD is equipped with dual wide pockets with hook and loop closures and lightweight nylon D-rings for transport of cargo and accessories. The Scuba Pro Pilot BCD comes with an owner's manual and is covered by a 24 month limited warranty.
The Pilot BCD comes equipped with Scubapro's AIR2 Breathable Inflator. When you took dive lessons you learned to perform specific skills to make you safe and comfortable underwater and at the surface. One of those skills was buoyancy control. Once you start diving for fun you use your buoyancy control devise constantly throughout the dive. Your octopus or alternate air source devise on the other hand is never used unless there is an emergency out-of-air situation. Reacting properly in an out of air situation can make the difference between an eventful dive and a tragedy. If your alternate air source and your BCD inflator devise are one and the same you will always know where to find it in an emergency. AIR2 is more than a simple inflator. Its components design takes advantage from the best regulator technology to guarantee maximum efficiency and reliability. As an inflator AIR2 provides perfect pressure control for a great buoyancy management. Ergonomic shape makes it easy-to-handle in any circumstances and it can be emptied by simply pressing the exhaust button.
AIR2's air balanced power inflator provides smooth and reliable inflation at all tank pressures. Single hose configuration eliminates the need for a separate alternate air source. Fixed VIVA flow vane for safe and uncomplicated use one-hand operation for instinctive and simple operation the self-flushing mechanism requires just one push on the purge to clear away all dirt. The AIR2 uses a classic downstream valve for less maintenance and reliability. The housing is a precision molded carbon fiber and techno-polymer impact resistant design that weighs 6.7 oz (190 g). The AIR2 comes with a 3/8" threaded 27.56" (70 cm) high-flow low-pressure hose and owner's manual.
