Underwater photographer, Steven Smeltzer provides evaluations of several of his preferred BCDs available on the market Whilst there continues to be a number of wonderful new travel BCDs that have been introduced in the last 3 years and Smeltzer supplies a review of the top BCDs. Smeltzer believes goal of any BCD ought to be function first and after that comfort. The Lightweight BCDs reviewed at this time supply a sensible amount of function and along with good fit. The trade off on travel BCDs is more often than not restrictions in storage pockets, lift (which is very critical if you take a lot of weight when you dive), security of your tank while you are diving, D-rings for optional gear and how easy it is to float on the surface comfortably. The BCDs analyzed afford respectable form and capabilities and a differing amount of optional features.
