Has anyone seen or used the new Scubapro Hydros Pro BCD

When you start diving every weekend and every one of your vacations is scheduled to be a dive trip, then it's definitely time to buy your own bcd.

When you start diving every weekend and every one of your vacations is scheduled to be a dive trip, then it's definitely time to buy your own bcd.

I currently have 9 logged dive n another 3 next month in bali.
Diving every weekend is impossible for me coz I live in the heart of the city, all of my dive r mostly in 2 days dive trip.
My current issue that the rental bcd aren't that good in variety, mostly basic jacket style n aren't tht comfortable.

That's hard to argue. Sounds to me like you believe that you'll stick with diving.

As long as you're aware that very few people that have taken lessons are still actively diving 2 years later.

Then, you know yourself. You will probably be more happy to dive your own bcd. So, you should probably buy the one that you like now.

I dove my first bcd for years and years and it is still in pretty good condition. However, the company has gone out of business.

I'm also reasonably happy with my current bcd and I've had it for at least 6 years, perhaps longer.

Take care of your gear and it will take care of you!

Heyyy abit of topic here, should I get the Seahawk 2 or wait a little n save for a hydros pro?

I would wait and save for the Hydros.

I think they are both great BCs. I am not seeing Hydros getting upgraded anytime soon because it has already been upgraded.

I just got the hydros pro from my LDS I did my OW at for $360 (demo). So I would say save for the hydros

On another note, has anyone removed the bungees from the hydros?

I have both the orange and yellow pockets. Helps to be friendly with Rhyss! Irony is that I use neither.

Since your not using them would you like to sell the orange pockets?

Sold both a while back.

I assume the problems of version 1 will all be taken care of, and more?
