Choosing the right mid-level BCD (short for Buoyancy Control Device) can be tricky, with such a wide and diverse range on offer online and at the ADRENO megastores! In this video, Chris from ADRENO Melbourne takes the hassle out of the choice and offers three mid-level BCD's perfect for any intermediate scuba diver.
The BCD allows divers to control their buoyancy by inflating or deflating a bladder to achieve positive, neutral or negative buoyancy. The buoyancy devices are comfortable and easy to wear, offering a practical solution when diving. BCD's are fully adjustable and can be bought in different designs and size to fit.
Here are Chris's top three mid-level BCD recommendations:
1. Cressi R1 BCD
The Cressi R1 BCD is a super light weight yet jam packed jacket style BCD, a great item for most recreational divers. The R1 features a unique waist length shape with larger sized wings making it super hydrodynamic. Cressi has created a BCD perfectly balanced between spacious, practical and affordable, along with neutral colours to match any of your existing equipment to keep a low key uniformed look under the water. Our R1 BCD also has some heavy duty including YKK 8pitch zippers and gussets adding strength and durability to the product, an axillary strap system and low wings giving the diving an ultimate range of movement. The BCD's shoulders straps are padded making it an extra comfy backpack style BCD to carry around for long diving days!
