Love your vids, Bob! Just unboxed my Pro HD Compact, and one suggestion: to adjust sternum straps, PUSH IN then slide up or down. Took a minute to figure it out, but your example was very helpful!

It's a very cool BC, I like the color. I'd probably add a couple of trim pockets on the tank strap. Thanks for your note. Regards Bob C

It took me a while to find but between the right pocket and the surelock system there space to fold up your octo. I dove it in the pool and it was very comfy

Use an Octo Holder and attach it to the D-ring at the top of the right bolster.

Basically a lightweight, well working, comfy bcd. What's missing is a) a shoulder strap quick release to slip out of the bcd when still in the water, e.g. to hand it to the boat guy if you want to exit out of the water without carrying the bcd yourself. And b) larger rings to hang on equipment

Thanks Timbuktu for your comment. Must agree that it's very a minimal BCD but that's the reasoning about no QR buckles or larger D-rings. I'm all about light-weight, but it is barely there... People love it though. Regards Bob C

Hi Bob, just got mine and super eager to try it! I tried it on the store and it is super comfy. One question I have is the reason of the velcro behind the top tank strap. Cant figure out the purpose of it. 🤔

Nevermind! It's just how the bladder and the backpack section connect
@DiversSupplyYT

Dreoni, That BCD is built in modular form. The Straps/Back-Panel are separate from the Bladder. That upper velcro closure you see somewhat hidden behind the Valve Strap, is the through connection for the Back-Panel at the top. If you look down you'll see where the Tank Strap routes through the bladder and in through the lower portion of the Back-panel holding those parts together. Thanks and enjoy, look forward to your comments after you've had a chance to make some dives with it. Regards Bob C

will this connect to a standard regulator set connector hose? By that I mean if I am hiring my regulator set from a dive centre will the standard inflator hose connect with this bcd or do I have to use the braided connector hose supplied with the bcd?

Hi USER ! You can just use what you've got unless there's a Octo-Inflator on the other BCD you're renting, but most likey it's the standard inflator connection. Thanks for the question. Bob C

Thanks for your reply, Just out of interest which do you think is best out of the Aqualung pro HD or the Scubapro Litehawk. I’m leaning towards the Litehawk due to the two tank strap system for tank stability. I also like the fact you can dump air by pulling on the breather hose. I do however like the pockets, and adjustable chest strap on the aqualung. Hmm hard decision. Regards Tom

@@user-so5gv5sv3q Two completely different BCDs. One Jacket and one Back-Inflate One Travel and one general purpose Vest. One light-weight- one not so lite weight. One with internal back-plate and one without. One with BP has single strap with valve strap other without BP has two straps (it uses the tank for rigidity) Both do have left hose pull dumps, and right shoulder dumps. One big pockets other has connection points. Like comparing a sports car to a pickup truck. Great idea for video ! Regards Bob C

How does this compare to the Sherwood crux
@DiversSupplyYT
2 жыл бұрын
Jeff, That can be a broadly answered question. As a Travel BC the Compact is certainly far lighter both in weight and quality of construction. But the Crux cost more. Can you travel with the Crux, certainly so... Features wise, the Crux is much more substantial and feature rich. It has excellence all over it with small pockets, attachment points, trim pockets and connections points. So it depends on what you want it to do for you. Here's a vid on the Crux. kzitem.info/news/bejne/1maMsaJ-rn-jaG0
