Common Questions about BCDs

Do I lose surface comfort with a back‑inflate?

Proper adjustment maintains surface support. Most users note improved back support and minimal “crushing,” with only a slight need to lean back.

What signals it’s time to upgrade from my entry jacket BCD?

If you’re adding weight pockets, seeking better trim for photography, or want more compact travel packing, a back‑inflate or BP/W addresses all three without stacking aftermarket modifications.

How does modularity reduce ownership cost?

Being able to replace just a wing or harness segment extends service life and customizes lift to dive conditions instead of buying a whole new integrated jacket each time needs shift.
