I was able to use the Aropec Origin BCD on my trip to Komodo Island and the way it fit on my body is impressive. I could really see the high-quality material and construction. One of the standout features for me is the front-adjustable design and the durability of the 3-layer Duragon Cordura and Duragon Nylon fabric. The dual dump valves really did enhance my confidence under the water. The price was a bit steeper than I expected, but the overall performance definitely justifies the cost! The only thing I wished is that it was a bit lighter.

I am loving the size range provided for this BCD! It indeed does cater to a wide range of divers and I can safely fit into it. I could truly appreciate the effort put into this. I loved the way it made surfing the ocean above water, comfortable, and effortless. But can this really last forever, with frequent diving attached?

Hi, the BCD was really something when we dived as a whole group. Is it important to have training so that everyone gets familiar with the buoyancy control dumps and even emergency descent procedures? Still loving, though.
Imran Hanafiah –
Yes, it’s absolutely essential to have proper training before using the Aropec Origin BCD or any other diving equipment. Familiarizing yourself with buoyancy control dumps and emergency descent procedures will ensure a safe and enjoyable diving experience. If you need assistance or training resources, I recommend reaching out to a certified diving instructor.

However, isn’t it true that some users didn’t quite like how their BCD sizes didn’t perfectly fit? A size up or size down usually resolves the problem.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the Aropec Origin BCD, Emily. You’re right, some users did experience fit issues with their BCD sizes, but we’ve found that in most cases, adjusting the size by one level usually resolves the problem. Our product description clearly states that we offer a wide size range from XS to XXL, but we also understand that body types can vary greatly. If you or anyone else experiences a fit issue, we’d be happy to help you find a solution or exchange it for a different size. We strive to provide the best possible fit for all our customers.

How well does the Aropec Origin BCD perform in cold water? I’ve heard it can be a bit more finicky in those conditions.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for sharing your concerns about the Aropec Origin BCD’s performance in cold water, Charlotte. While the BCD is designed for diving in various conditions, we can’t say it’s specifically finicky in cold water. However, our design team did take extra precautions to ensure the Duragon Cordura and Duragon Nylon materials in the BCD could withstand changing temperatures. If you have any concerns or questions about diving in cold water, we’d be happy to help. Additionally, you may want to check out our user manual for tips on optimizing your BCD performance in varying conditions.

What I genuinely enjoyed with BCD is how lightweight it feels on the water and how you can truly customise your ideal fit. It felt super relaxing from the get-go and really helped me not feel all stressed about the journey.
Charlotte Ho –
I do wish it had a bit more streamlined design as sometimes the bits start to catch onto wetsuits. Although, when you really do use this buoyancy compensator properly, it does give you that reassuring extra lift on the surface.
Emily Wong –
What’s the difference between the classic and Inova swivel dump valves on the Aropec Origin BCD? Are they both equally effective?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your question, Emily. The classic dump valve and the Inova swivel dump valve on the Aropec Origin BCD serve the same purpose of controlling buoyancy underwater. However, they operate slightly differently. The classic dump valve is a traditional design that allows divers to manually release air from the BCD, while the Inova swivel dump valve features a rotating mechanism for more precise control. The Inova swivel dump valve also includes an identifiable plastic handle, making it easier to locate and use underwater. Both valves are equally effective, and the choice between them often comes down to personal preference.

My only minor complaint is that the BCD can be a bit heavy when loaded with a tank. However, this is a minor issue, and the overall quality and performance make it well worth the investment.
