Dive Rite have done it again! A first class recreational BCD from a company with a major technical diving pedigree.

Where most Travel BCDs compromise on durability to make a lighter product, Dive Rite have weaved some magic to make a new BCD for the 2020 dive gear market that is both light (6.2lbs/2.8kgs) and strong.

I've been using this BCD as my go-to recreational dive BCD for three weeks now. In this video, I'm sharing my honest user experience.

Thanks for watching!

James

I grew up in Ireland, got my open water and nitrox, did 19/20 dives and moved to the US. Haven’t dived since 2013. Came across your channel and now I’m pretty sure I’m going to get back into it. Thank you for your awesome content and inspiring me to get back in the water. Hope to maybe dive with you guys some time in the future. I owe you a beer!

James I just wanted to say thanks. Me and the wife are fairly new divers and just getting our first BC. Since we discovered your channel we have been watching the videos 1 after another. After your review of this BC we just ordered 2 of them. Keep up the great work and the humor. Sometimes better than others ;)

It's really great to see that you take time to review the products, dive them thoroughly and record parts of the video over a longer period of time, providing a genuine review. Thanks!

i switched over to diverite several years ago and have never looked back. and i have just got a back plate, harness setup cant wait to try it.

[darylbalmer]

Hi James, I have about 20 dives on my new Hydro AND WOW!!! The many cautions I received regarding a backplate style were totally wrong! I can now finally do the things i've watched other divers do. Thank You!

[naplesnurse]

I appreciate your honest reviews of equipment. Cute kitty 😊

I just started diving Dive Rite gear and I really like it. Purchased their Frameless Ultraclear mask and instantly fell in love with it. Best mask I've ever used. Also started diving their sidemount LS BC and XT regs. Haven't dived it enough to really say for sure but so far I really like them. Very smooth regs and the BC is super comfortable.

[SpaceWalkTraveller]

Thanks for the review. I wish you did it a month ago as I just brought the SCUBAPRO Litehawk BC, which I'm extremely happy with. It's a great looking travel BCD, I'm enjoying your channel keep up the great work.

[johnraymond]

Just took my new Hydro Lite for a test drive at the Blue Grotto. Love it. It will be my constant companion. Thanks James for the recommendation

Now we only want to see the see saw footage 😂😂😂 Great review, great editing, great energy. Currently using the Zeagle express tech. Been looking at the dive rite model for some time now. Thank you kindly.

[barjona]

I like the idea of the Dive Rite Hydro Lite, but I'm partial to my OMS IQ Lite Backpack with a wing (extremely similar to the Dive Rite Transpac XT/Travel EXP Package). Mainly due to the flexibility of being able to change out wings or add a plate if desired. I'm glad that you have tested it and love diving with it though.

[andrecandrade]

Sea Experience is an awesome dive operation!

[ronnieattaway]

Great no BS review. Not a common thing theses days. Love your channel.

[lexussu]

Can you do a video about tidal range? I have a large range for my body type/size, and would love to get your thoughts on how to best adjust for it.

The quick blip about trim pockets hinted at how you deal with it, but I'd love to see one of your lengthier technical videos about the subject.

[jacobhicks]

Diving the Oms iq lite, so close and I love it. Big difference is the waist buckle. This style is wonderful to dive

[douglasbrown]

Another great video James! This came up as I am looking for a new BCD, I have been wavering between the Hydo Lite and the Aqualung Rogue for travel, and just enjoy that you give a genuine review rather than an explanation and regurgitation of the specs...not to mention I trust your thoughts. Thank you!!

[MrMurraymph]

I had to go online and read the manual to understand if it had my favorite feature on a bc.... top dump valve! If tech people are happy to lose a top dump valve I'm happy for them, but I feel as a dive instructor that it is essential..

[thehomecoach]

Really appreciate your efforts! Thank you!

[robertshort]

I checked out this BCD through the link to Amazon just to see the price---$589---no thanks. I'll stick with my Scubapro LiteHawk that weighs less, comes with trim pockets and cost me half as much as the Dive Rite. But it does look like an amazing BC and thanks for the review as always.

[TheAshantidutch]

this looks good as my partners is looking for a good lightweight comfortable BCD, looks like I may be selling her Zen, Uk based and so the link will not help as not paying import costs but thanks for the review. NICE, Enjoy the trip to Bonaire and dive the Salt Pier, you will love it.
