Wei Ming Tan –
The fit of the XL BCD is just right for me and feels really comfortable, even during longer dives. The material is tough and easy to clean, which is important since I dive regularly in saltwater. Only thing is, the zippered pockets could be a bit bigger for storing my gloves.

Is this BCD suitable for technical diving with twin tanks or only for single tank setups?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Aisyah. The Apollo Bio Control BCD – Extra Large XL is designed primarily for single tank recreational and professional diving; it’s not specifically configured for twin tank technical diving.
