Why is Surface Tension STI BCD 30LB Camo Purple not more well-known in the scuba diving community? It’s been my go-to BCD for months now and I’ve had zero issues.
Maybe it’s not as flashy as some other brands, but its quality far surpasses them.

What are the primary differences between this Surface Tension STI BCD 30LB Camo Purple model and the STI BCD 40LB? I’m planning to upgrade my current BCD and I want to make an informed decision.
Imran Hanafiah –
Thank you for reaching out, Kenneth. The Surface Tension STI BCD 30LB Camo Purple and the STI BCD 40LB do share similarities as both are excellent BCD options. However, the primary difference lies in the weight capacity and, consequently, the buoyancy. The 40LB model has a higher weight capacity and provides greater buoyancy, making it suitable for larger or more advanced divers. On the other hand, the 30LB model is ideal for smaller or less experienced divers, offering a more manageable weight capacity and buoyancy. It’s worth noting that both models feature the STI’s innovative design, ensuring a comfortable and streamlined diving experience.

Can anyone tell me how deep the weight pockets are on this Surface Tension STI BCD 30LB Camo Purple model?
It seems like a great product so far, but this is a crucial aspect for me as I like to dive in deep water.
Junhao Lo –
Thank you for your review of our Surface Tension STI BCD 30LB Camo Purple model, Geraldine! We appreciate your interest in the weight pocket depth.
