Osprey Public Safety BCD by XS Scuba
Dominate Heavy Duty Operations
Dive Right In Scuba equips your rescue team with the XS Scuba Osprey Public Safety BCD to handle the heaviest diving environments. You get massive lift and weight capacity packed into a strong jacket style frame. The M-Brace Harness utilizes one continuous sheet of High-Density Polyethylene from your waist to your shoulders. This rigid structure distributes the heavy load of your cylinder and lead weights perfectly across your body. You maintain total balance and comfort during intense underwater searches. You choose between high-visibility safety yellow featuring SOLAS reflector panels or stealth all-black to match your specific mission profile.
Manage Extreme Weight Loads
Drop your ballast instantly when the situation demands it. The Catch n Release weight pockets ditch your lead with a single swift pull. When you load your weights back into the rig, you get a clear visual, audible, and tactile confirmation to ensure everything is locked down tight. Sizes Large through 2XL feature dual channel weight pockets holding 16 lbs (7.5 kg) each, delivering a massive 42 lbs (19 kg) total capacity. Size Medium uses single channel pockets holding 10 lbs (4.5 kg) each for a 30 lbs (14 kg) total capacity. You also get two 5 lb (2.25 kg) non-ditchable trim pockets to dial in your horizontal swimming posture. Heavy 1000D polyurethane coated exterior fabric and an 840D interior lining armor the rig against jagged debris in low visibility waters.
Access Your Critical Gear
Grab your essential tools fast without fumbling. Two large utility pockets feature expandable gussets and a lowered entry point, letting you pull out your slates and spools smoothly while wearing thick gloves. Six large 2 inch (50 mm) 304 stainless steel D-rings provide hard attachment points for your lights and lift bags. You control your buoyancy with extreme precision using the K-style technical inflator. Rugged brass buttons handle severe physical abuse, while the 16 inch (41 cm) corrugated hose includes a cable pull rapid exhaust right at the top. Two upper and two lower low-profile dump valves feature oversized pull bobs so you can vent air quickly from any swimming angle. A full size hard backpack cradles your tank with three sets of traction pads, secured by a heavy duty stainless steel cam buckle and integrated protection pad.
