00:24channel. We've reviewed 10 of the best scuba diving jacket BCDs available today
00:28and we'll be revealing them in today's video. Follow along so we can help you
00:34decide which best meets your needs. Let's go. Number 10. Scuba Pro Hydros Pro BCD.
00:41The Scuba Pro Hydros Pro diving jacket won the 2016 Red Dot Innovative Concept
00:48Award for its modular design. This unique feature allows users to customize their
00:53setup to maximize storing capacity, to make it ultra lightweight, or to create a
00:58hybrid option. The jacket is manufactured using monprane, a resilient
01:03and flexible material that moves well with you. The jacket has a zipper closure
01:07and zippered pockets to protect your belongings while you're underwater. The
01:12jacket also features two adjustable buoyancy compensator tanks, one on the
01:17left and one on the right. This helps divers know how much air they have in
01:21their tanks and can help them stay at the surface if needed. It also comes with
01:26many accessories that makes this BCD perfect for both beginner and experienced
01:30divers. The 3L bag attaches easily to the waist belt and includes a mesh pocket
01:36on the inside. The hose holders attach securely around your tank straps so you
01:41never have to worry about losing your hose again. The harness comes with a lot
01:46of grommets and D-rings to mount every accessory you might need for spear
01:50fishing, photography, and more. Finally, there's also a 3D compass attached to
01:55the back of the jacket for easy access to directions when needed.
01:59Number nine, Ziegle Halo BCD. The Ziegle Halo BCD isn't cheap, but this jacket is
02:06made out of some of the strongest materials on the market. It's true what
02:10they say, you get what you pay for. The Ziegle Halo is designed with a personal
02:14fit system, so you can use its adjustable shoulder straps and waist belts to
02:19customize it to your body type. Ziegle incorporated the Ripcord weight system,
02:24the safest and most reliable weight system ever designed, into this BCD. It is
02:29the only weight release system that instantly releases weights from both
02:32sides with a single pull. This feature allows for quick and easy weight release
02:36by the diver or their buddy in one single action, just what divers need in
02:41case of an emergency. Most other manufacturers have proprietary weight
02:45pockets. You lose one or both and the diver is done diving until they can
02:50purchase replacements. With the Ripcord weight system, hard or soft weights can
02:54be used and are painlessly loaded and unloaded into a mesh pouch and dropped
02:58into the top mounted zipper pocket. If the Ripcord weight system does get
03:02pulled, it can be rethreaded, loaded with more weight, and the diver is quickly
03:06back in the water. Number eight, Cressi Aquapro 5 BCD. Extensively used in dive

03:48which means they can easily fit any size person. The weight system includes two
03:53pockets inside the jacket, meaning you don't need to worry about your bulky
03:56bags outside your suit cluttering up your look. The back support is rigid for
04:00proper cylinder stability, but is fully padded for comfort. Number seven, Scuba
04:06Pro Hydros Pro with 5th Generation Air 2 BCD. A true breakthrough in design, dive

05:51security. Despite its streamlined design, the Nighthawk is able to offer a
