I recently purchased the Scubapro GO BCD with BPI and I’m absolutely loving it. The fit and feel are perfect for me, and the backpack is so easy to fold up. My only slight complaint is that the weight savings isn’t as noticeable as I thought it would be. Otherwise, it’s a fantastic BCD.

I bought this Scubapro GO BCD for my vacation and overall I’m quite satisfied with how it performed under water. Although it’s really great for casual use, it can be improved with a chest winder (BPI Valve) control that is more intuitive. Really appreciate every single feature though.

I’m not so sure about using the Scubapro GO BCD for diving in the deep sea. Are the air bottles durable enough to withstand the pressure? Does it offer multiple air supply options?
Junhao Lo –
We appreciate your concern about the durability of the air bottles and multiple air supply options. The Scubapro GO BCD is designed to withstand normal diving pressures, and the air cells are made from high-quality materials. Additionally, the BCD has a feature that allows for alternative air source (AAS) connection. This means that you can connect an additional air supply in case of an emergency. However, we recommend consulting the user manual for more detailed information on how to use this feature. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

One thing I appreciate about the Scubapro GO BCD is how convenient it is to carry around while hiking before we dive. How does the light weight of the BCD impact the overall durability of its parts?
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Marylaine Maria Vermeiren! The Scubapro GO BCD was designed to strike a balance between convenience and durability. The light weight of the BCD doesn’t compromise its durability. In fact, it allows for easier folding and reduced weight, making it easier to transport. However, please note that any BCD parts, including those with lighter materials, may still be prone to wear and tear. Regular maintenance and proper handling can help extend the lifespan of your BCD. We’d be happy to provide more information or tips on BCD maintenance if needed. Have any other questions about the Scubapro GO BCD?

Bao Leong Chua –
I recently went on an underwater expedition and I have to say that the Scubapro GO BCD with BPI met all my expectations. The device is sturdy, reliable, and very easy to maneuver. However, I did find the backpack to be a bit bulky which would have been a major issue if we had to do some serious hiking.
Cristela Maria Sylviangas –
I’ve always been a fan of BCDs, and Scubapro’s GO BCD is no exception. Although I’m not a professional diver, it still feels rather daunting at deep depths as the pressure applied from the water is extremely immense?
Imran Hanafiah –
Dear Cristela Maria Sylviangas, thank you for sharing your valuable feedback about the Scubapro GO BCD w/ BPI. We completely understand your concern about the immense water pressure at deep depths. You’re right that the pressure at such depths can be challenging for even experienced divers. However, our BCDs are designed to provide maximum comfort and safety, and it’s essential to ensure you’re diving within your certified depth limit and following safe diving practices. As you mentioned, you’re not a professional diver, and we recommend you to dive with an experienced guide who can provide you with extra support and guidance. We’re glad you’re enjoying the Scubapro GO BCD w/ BPI for your recreational diving needs. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help. We’d also love to hear from other users who have experience with deep diving. Can you share any tips or advice on staying safe during deep dives?
Lau Kuan Sheng –
Can someone tell me more about the differences between the Scubapro GO BCD with BPI and the Scubapro Largo?
Junhao Lo –
Hello Lau Kuan Sheng, thank you for reaching out about the Scubapro GO BCD with BPI and the Largo. After comparing the two products, we can see that the main difference lies in their design and features. The Largo is a larger BCD designed for taller divers, with a higher backplate and a larger bladder capacity. It’s also a bit heavier than the GO. On the other hand, the GO BCD is a more compact and lightweight option, making it ideal for traveling divers. It’s also a great choice for those who prefer the front-adjustable design. If you’re still unsure, I would recommend trying out both products at a local dive shop to see which one fits you best. Would you like to know more about the features of either product? Or would you like to hear from other customers who have used these BCDs?
