Review:
SeaQuest Black Diamond Designed with a large rigid backpack and substantial buoyant lift, capable of carrying lots of ballast and equipped with five heavy-duty stainless-steel D-rings for hauling everything but the kitchen sink, SeaQuest's Black Diamond, a clear Testers' Choice, is the Terminator of back-buoyancy BCs.
This top-scoring BC features swivel buckles on its pull-down straps and an adjustable chest strap. These, combined with ample padding, create a very comfortable, very snug fit. The BC doesn't ride up in the inverted position, even when not using the optional crotch strap.
The Black Diamond comes standard with SeaQuest's Powerline inflato
Like the Balance, the Black Diamond utilizes a single-flap Velcro weight system with contoured weight pouches. But because of the BC's increased weight requirements, the pouches are twice the size. Still, pouches load and ditch efficiently.
The big Velcro pocket and zippered pull-down pocket are easy to get to. However, the zippered pouch on the cummerbund is difficult to access and doesn't hold much. The Black Diamond has minimal inherent buoyancy. The variance in measured buoyant lift versus manufacturer's claims is just over five percent.
Retail Price: $660.
