Years ago I had a U.S. Divers BCD and I put a Seaquest inflator-reg on it. I don't know what you're looking for but if it's just for fit I'm pretty sure this will work.

Hi there, I was thinking of the seaquest's too. What is your comment on that piece of equipment. comfortable? What BCD are you using now?

Thanks in advance
 
Almost all of them will fit. Depending on the model of inflator you have now you may have to change the manifold to get the correct fit.

The air Source is popular around here, followed by the Zegal, and then Oceanic

It works. It's a stiff breather but at least it doesn't free flow. I don't use it anymore. AT the time I had a regulator with 2 LP ports and I needed to run a primary/bcd/drysuit/octopus all off 2 ports. I already had a T-connector on the reg and putting a normal octopus on it was going to force me to put on another and it was looking pretty flimsy as it was. Soooo I opted for for the inflator reg instead of an octopus. In my case I chose it because it was practical and comfort wasn't really an issue. As far as comfort goes I don't know how it would perform in an emergency. In fact in the 10 years or so that I dove with it I never needed to use it like that. As an inflator it's fine.

These days I have enough ports and I have a normal octopus.

And to answer your other qustion, my current bcd is a Seaquest Pro QD.
