buoyancy compensators

BUOYANCY
COMPENSATORS
In addition to securing the tank on your back, a
buoyancy compensator (BC) controls your rate of
ascent and descent and holds you steady underwater,
at neutral buoyancy. It is truly one of the most
important pieces of dive gear you will ever own.
To let you choose the right BC for your needs, a wide
range of SCUBAPRO models offer an array of original
techniques and features. We pay careful attention
to every detail. Three different types of buoyancy
compensators accommodate the demands of all
divers, each offering unsurpassed safety, comfort and
durability.
AIR2 TECHNOLOGY
In 1979, SCUBAPRO created the AIR2 concept. It is now in its fourth
generation and is more streamlined, modern, ergonomic and lighter.
Great for travelling divers, AIR2 provides smooth reliable BC
inflation at all tank pressures. AIR2 is more than a simple inflator.
Its components’ design takes advantage of the best regulator
technology to guarantee maximum efficiency and reliability. The
ergonomic shape makes it easy-to-handle in any circumstance and
it can be automatically emptied by simply pressing the exhaust
button. With single hose configuration, one-hand operation and
single-push, self-flushing mechanism to clear away impurities--you
can’t beat an AIR2.

THREE TYPES OF SCUBAPRO BC’S
CLASSIC UNLIMITED
x6
STABILIZING BC’S
1
When SCUBAPRO invented the original stabilizing jacket in 1971, it
revolutionized buoyancy control. Unrestricted internal passageways
let air flow continuously throughout the jacket to accumulate at
the highest point. The diver is surrounded by a bubble and moves
easily and precisely. Today, this classic design is still the choice of
many commercial divers and instructors, providing exceptional lift,
stability and control.
FRONT-ADJUSTABLE BC’S
The Classic Unlimited Jacket has been certified
as a Combined Buoyancy and Rescue Device
thanks to its lift capacity and the “face up”
body position at the surface. It is the stabilizing
jacket choice of commercial, military, instructors
and advanced divers needing intensive use,
precise buoyancy control and comfort.
2
Front-adjustable BC’s combine ease of use with stability above
and below the water, which makes them the most popular type
of compensator today. Whatever suit you decide to wear for your
dive, your front-adjustable jacket will always fit you perfectly. Quickrelease adjustable shoulder buckles make it easy to put on and
take off. The BC wraps comfortably around your waist when inflated.

BACK FLOTATION BC’S

The air bladders are positioned on either side of the tank, rather
than under your arms or over your shoulders. Although the unique
balance takes some getting used to, many experienced divers
move to these BC’s to gain more freedom of movement and reduce
drag. The back flotation harness also carries the load better for
greater diving comfort on long or repeated dives, even with twin
tanks.
Most SCUBAPRO BC’s have integrated weight systems in front and
some also have counterweight pockets on the backside making
weight belts unnecessary. The jackets are also equipped with
convenient instrument and accessory pockets or attachment
points. All our BC’s are delivered with a Balanced Power Inflator (BPI)
or can accommodate an optional Alternate Inflator Regulator (AIR
2) and come with two dump valves, a hose pull dump system and
our SQAP (Safe and Quick Air Pin) system that lets you dump air
directly at the shoulder valve.
