Morning all,

I wanted to pick up a bcd for my wife for valentines day. She is fairly new to diving with around 25 dives. We mainly dive on vacation in the Caribbean. I would love to keep it around $300-$400. I really don't know anything about all theses different bcds and I'm really starting to feel overwhelmed with all the different choices. Please help!!

Thanks in advance!!

Cheers!!

Great idea!

The Scubapro Bella, LadyHawk or Equator are excellent options.

If you mainly dive on vacation try narrowing it down to lighter travel BCDs.

Fit and comfort are everything. Take her shopping. Not as romantic maybe but its the best way to make sure it is right for her.

I love my Oceanic Islander. Not fancy but lightweight and fits well. Not for cold water diving though

BCDs are SUCH a personal item, you really don't want to surprise her with one (unless you know exactly which one she covets).

Just bought my wife a Cressi Travel lite and she loves it. The fit is great, plenty of storage and D rings for what she needs. Rides and performs well in the water and, best of all, it folds up really small and weighs nothing for packing.

My wife used to like her Aqualung jacket type bcd..Never used it since I got her a Scubapro Light Hawk..Its a travel bcd , back inflation,stripped down to be really streamlined and it fits your budget at about $359. with standard inflator..Can be used in cold water too.Has plenty of lift.
