Travel BCD

[divingpyrate]

I love my Zeagle Stiletto. I like having pockets and integrated weights. The Stiletto packs nicely and has the features I like for diving. I started with a scubapro super glide plus jacket but it was a beast to travel with. I looked at BP/W but as I said. I prefer built in pockets and weight integration. I suggest some diving with your top 2 or 3 choices before making a decision. That si one reason I support my local dive shop. I don't suffer any guilt trying out things in the pool because they know I will buy from them.

Why is the rum always gone

My regular Halcyon BP/W system goes with me everywhere. Packs small, not too heavy, can bring whichever wing makes the most sense based on destination. I'd rather leave other stuff home than dive with anything else.

I have been traveling with my Cressi Travelite for a few years now. I'm extremely happy with how light and compact it is to travel with. As a matter of fact, I like it so much, I bought a second bcd for all the pool work I'm doing! I want to keep that Travelite nice and fresh and away from the pool!

I use a Dive Rite Aluminum BP with a 25lb Dive Rite Travel EXP wing. Just got back from Florida with it. Packed it in a Dive Caddy, and was very easy to transport.

I have about 50 dives on my Zuma and love it.

This is what I've found in my research for a travel bc.
These are all back inflate, I don't like the jacket style.
I got all this info online and we all know that if its on the internet it has to be true. lol.

You need to add the Aeris EX Lite. Leisure pro has them for like $180. Also, check out the new Aeris jetpack.

Another option is standard bpw or bpw with kydex travel backplate. Also, Sms50 or razor and single tank SM is an option.

I travel for most of my dive trips and use a Aqulung Zuma. Within a year, I used the BCS for about 80 dives. No wear issues. I use 12l or 15l tanks - the fit is great.

I have a Wicked Lite, which is pretty much the exact same BCD (albeit with some unfortunate tribal designs on the fabric). It is really fantastic. Super light and minimalistic, but high quality, last-forever construction. Simple, comfortable, light and rugged BC with weight integration. The weight pockets are smallish and there is no other storage, but if you do not need pockets, Zeagle might just have made the best BCD ever...
