Travel BCD

BillDark · May 22, 2013

Looking for any info or reviews on travel BCD's.I,m currently looking at a few options on a new travel BCD.First one is the Cressis Travel Lite, second is the Zeagle Covert.Can't seem to find any reviews on the Zeagle.I have also looked at the Aqualung Zuma but I wasnt too impressed with its quality.To me it just didn't seem to look durable.

Anyone have any experience with any of the above??

Welcome to SCUBAboard!

I just used the Scubapro GO travel B.C. in Turks & Caicos.

I really liked it. Very comfortable & light weight.

I'm not familiar with the Zeagle Covert. I use the Zeagle Express Tech for travel. It's like a backplate/wing-style BC, but the backplate is semi-flexible plastic. The thing literally rolls up in my suitcase (or backpack).

I got a 25lb Dive Right Travel EXP wing and paired it with a commercial diving harness to reduce the weight even further for travel. It is light weight, compresses easily and is small enough to fit in a standard suit case with lots of room to spear. The harness is also flexible, lighter then a back plate, the harness construction is superior and the webbing is softer.

I've got a scubapro geo (model before the go), no complaints, 4.5 pounds.

I use an Oceanic Biolite for travel and it fits and performs extremely well.

I use the Halcyon travel pro. Very happy with it.

The Zeagle Wicked Lite is light and packs very small. I have not seen any reviews but the owner of the LDS I use was impressed when he saw one.

I love my Zeagle Stiletto. I like having pockets and integrated weights. The Stiletto packs nicely and has the features I like for diving. I started with a scubapro super glide plus jacket but it was a beast to travel with. I looked at BP/W but as I said. I prefer built in pockets and weight integration. I suggest some diving with your top 2 or 3 choices before making a decision. That si one reason I support my local dive shop. I don't suffer any guilt trying out things in the pool because they know I will buy from them.

I'm not sure you will yet, it's pretty much brand new. It doesn't even appear on their website yet. Check LeisurePro.com in a few weeks - sometimes buyers review stuff there. http://www.leisurepro.com/1/2/33635-zeagle-covert-bcd-large.html

ScubaPro Lighthawk might be one to consider also. SCUBAPRO - LITEHAWK - they're about $360 retail.
