The Aqualung HD pro has knife attachment points and also has two counter balance pockets either side of the cylinder

Some people dive for a couple years and then get a new bcd, but then you realise how light weight and flexible it is compared to your old bcd

[dalesaylors]

I think that your reviews and advice is spot on. Therefore I would love a review of H.O.G equipment

When diving from a inflated rib, we need to take off weight belts, before we try to crawl aboard again. I can see that people with integrated weight pockets have a easier time, because the weight is in two pouches and is divided. If I bought a new BCD and got a type where you just open a pouch and let it fall out, I am afraid I would not be able to get my weights out and give to the boat captain, without accidentally dropping the on the sea bottom. Does anyone have experience with this?

Gravity assited weight pockets ARE THE BEST, i just did 25 dives with my startpro 2.0, and everyone took 10x longer than me to add or remove weights. AWESOME WEIGHT SYSTEM. NO POUCHES!!!!

Looking at divers supply scuba packages comes with bcd regulator octopus and gauges which would you recommend

Is there a difference in BCD’s for cold water vs warm water diving?

[rrwenzel]

Completely missing information on the X deep BCD you showed in the image!

Bro woke up from a nap and got right to work

[scubasteveandunderwaterroc]

For the trim I put 4 punds in and I put 2 pounds each in the removable puches is that safe ?

I have a friend who has 7 different BCD’s (from the Mares Rover to the HydrosPro) and a $20k camera rig. Hands down he says the Rover’s of the world are still the best BCD’s. (T-One, Wave). They’re so durable and failsafe that you’ll rarely actually need more unless you’re doing cave dives or suffer from lower back pain.

Only ever seen one person ditch weights because he put way too much weight on

[maxotzenberger]

i like how you say these are entry level even though they have pro in the name.

[numnums]

A how to BCD's work would be helpful and how they work that's how you sale a product I'm not a person in a factory or a scientis

[HellrazorDogsnDives]

Please spend like 5 mins on each item, get more info, do some tests, get some airflow gauge, speed of inflation... So many facts ur not giving us.. More spacs, more facts, less likes or how nice it is...

[numnums]

Your selling this to me not the lab scientis
