Features
The Buoyancy control device is made from tough Armourshield Cordura for longevity whilst a special dye colouring process makes it extra resistant to fading. This is suffering that frequent exposure to salt water and strong sun could bring on rapidly, so this thoughtful protection is an excellent idea.
There are two firmly attached stainless steel accessory D-rings on the front for attaching your gear to. Whether you just want to stop your regulators and gauges from bouncing about to carrying a torch and / or camera or a whistle to your Buoyancy control device for rapid access.
There are, of course, adjustable shoulder straps and cumber band fastening with quick release buckles. The cumber band also has a Velcro fastening to hold this in place. Plus, the right should has the toggle for a pull dump, essential for releasing extra air from the air pockets when you have gone vertical and are trying to reduce buoyancy, without letting water into the device.
The inflator is attached with a manual inflator built in and includes an integrated pull dump and though lots of dive centres still recommend using this to dump air, the other pull dumps are in general better to use as these do not let water back in as you dump air. So try to keep away from using the pull dump on the inflator!
The Aqua Lung Wave BCD also features two large hook and loop pockets, a carrying handle and a tank positioning strap to make sure the air tank is well positioned when attached.
