BCD
Here are a few examples of the line that
Atlantic Scuba carries. There are many more in the store.
Buoyancy Compensating Device
You're floating in the water. You rock back and forth peacefully with the
swells, preparing for a head first dive into the deep blue. The world the diver
lives in is constantly changing. It is quite literally a fluid environment that
calls for constant adaptation. The buoyancy compensator (BCD) is the platform of
the SCUBA diving system that provides this flexibility and its importance should
not be overlooked.
A well-designed BC provides stability and facilitates precise changes in
underwater body position, allowing you to effortlessly see the world around you.
The success of BCDs lies in the details. All conform securely to the
diver's body to minimize drag and provide a comfortable, nonrestrictive fit
around the shoulders and waist.
