Mohamad Farid –
Very happy with the Sherwood Magnum BCD so far! Fits comfortably and the integrated weight system is easy to use. Only thing is the side pockets are a bit snug when wearing thicker gloves.

Pavitra Nair –
I’ve used the Magnum BCD for about 6 months now including on a week-long trip to Tioman, and it’s been really reliable. Adjusts well over my wetsuit and feels sturdy even during drift dives.

Ms. Nair, thank you for sharing your positive experience and for choosing the Sherwood Magnum BCD. We’re pleased to hear it performed well for you on your Tioman trip and during varied dive conditions.
Lim Wei Ling –
Is the stainless steel D-rings really rust-proof for regular saltwater diving?

Hi Ms. Lim, yes, the D-rings are made from marine-grade stainless steel designed to resist corrosion even with frequent saltwater use. We do recommend rinsing your BCD with fresh water after every dive to maximize longevity.
