Aquaride BCD

Cressi Aquaride BCD: A Modern Take on the Jacket-Style BCD

The Cressi Aquaride is an advanced jacket-style BCD that reimagines fit and comfort for the modern diver. It's designed for recreational divers and dive professionals who appreciate a feature-rich buoyancy system with an innovative harness design that prevents the dreaded "squeeze."

No Squeeze: The Independent Harness System

The standout feature of the Aquaride is its harness system, where the shoulder and waist straps remain completely independent of the air cell.

• Why it matters: In many traditional jackets, the harness is part of the air bladder, so when you inflate the BCD, it tightens around your torso. The Aquaride's design completely eliminates this effect, ensuring your fit remains consistent and unconstricted whether your BCD is fully inflated at the surface or empty at depth.

Integrated Weights & Trim Control:

The BCD includes Cressi's Flat Lock Aid integrated weight system, providing secure, easy-to-manage weight pockets with a quick-release mechanism. For divers looking to perfect their in-water balance, optional 2 kg (4.4 lb) trim weight pockets can be added to the rear of the BCD.

Thoughtfully Designed for the Diver:

The Aquaride is packed with features that enhance your dive:

• Stable & Easy to Carry: An ultralight rigid backplate provides excellent tank stability and features an integrated handle, making it much easier to carry your assembled kit to and from the dive site. Soft, quick-draining Air-Net padding lines the backplate for added comfort.
• Ample Storage: Two large, gusseted zippered pockets expand to hold your essentials like a backup mask or dive slate. Dedicated hose pockets neatly stow your gauge and octopus.
• Extensive Gear Attachment: Eight pre-bent stainless steel D-rings provide numerous, easy-to-access clip-off points for all of your accessories.
• Precise Buoyancy Control: Three dump valves (one on the shoulder, one on the inflator, one on the lower rear) offer multiple options for making precise buoyancy adjustments in any position.

The size Medium provides 13.2 kg / 29.2 lbs of lift.
