Key Features of the Cressi Patrol BCD

Rear Inflation Design: The Cressi Patrol BCD utilizes a rear inflation design, which means that the air cell is located on the back of the diver. This design offers several advantages, including a streamlined profile and improved buoyancy control. With the air cell positioned behind the diver, it provides a more natural and comfortable swimming position, allowing for better maneuverability in the water.

Durable Construction:  Crafted from durable 420-denier nylon, the Cressi Patrol BCD is built to withstand the rigors of underwater exploration. The material is resistant to tears, abrasions, and punctures, ensuring that the BCD will last for years to come. Additionally, the BCD features bungee cords that provide rapid deflation of the air cell, further enhancing its durability and functionality.

Flat-Lock-Aid Integrated Weight System: The Patrol BCD is equipped with Cressi's Flat-Lock-Aid integrated weight system, which allows for easy release of the weight pockets. With a weight capacity of up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms), divers can easily adjust their buoyancy by adding or removing weights as needed. The integrated weight system is designed for effortless operation, allowing divers to focus on their dive without the hassle of cumbersome weight belts.

Multiple Over Pressure Relief Valves: To ensure safe and controlled buoyancy adjustments, the Cressi Patrol BCD is equipped with three over pressure relief valves. These valves are strategically placed to provide easy access and quick deflation of excess air. The upper valve is located on the inflator hose, while the other two valves are positioned on the right-hand side of the shoulder and the lower right-hand side of the air cell. This triple valve system guarantees precise buoyancy control at all times.

Adjustable Harness System:  The Cressi Patrol BCD features a fully adjustable harness system that allows for a customized fit. The shoulder and waist straps can be easily adjusted to accommodate divers of different sizes, ensuring maximum comfort and stability. The traditional "squeeze-style" side-release buckles make it quick and easy to put on and take off the BCD, while still providing a secure and reliable connection.

Streamline Commando Power Inflator: Included with the Cressi Patrol BCD is the streamline Commando Power Inflator. This inflator is designed for smooth and effortless inflation and deflation of the BCD. The 3/8" threaded quick-disconnect hose ensures a secure connection to your tank, while the environmentally sealed inflator mechanism guarantees reliability and minimal maintenance. The Commando Power Inflator is a user-friendly addition that enhances the overall functionality of the BCD.
