Absolutely love how lightweight this BCD is! It packed perfectly into my carry-on for my recent dive trip to Bali. The fit was snug and comfortable all day long, even on back-to-back dives.

Siti Mohamed –
Does this BCD have enough lift for diving with a 5mm wetsuit and one 12L steel tank? I want to ensure proper buoyancy when fully geared up.
[email protected] –
Hi Siti, the TravelPAC’s 25lb (11.3kg) lift wing is ideal for single-cylinder set-ups, including a 12L steel tank with a 5mm wetsuit. It should provide sufficient buoyancy for most recreational dives; however, if you carry significant additional weight, we recommend doing a proper buoyancy check before your dive.
Wei Sheng Tan –
The BCD is excellent for travel but I found the chest strap a little tight, even though overall the fit is good. Is there an option to adjust it further?

Thank you for sharing your experience, Wei Sheng. The chest strap is adjustable, but if you’re still finding it tight, there are accessory kits available for extending straps—please contact us for guidance or recommendations.
