Scubapro X-Black BCD

Scubapro’s premium front-adjustable X-Black BCD has earned a stellar reputation among recreational and professional divers for its quality, feature-rich construction and substantial lift capacity.

While unchanged in terms of lift and design, the X-Black BCD 2024’s bladder is now built with high-quality PU-coated 420 denier nylon on the inside and 840 denier nylon on the outside.

These two fabrics are high-frequency welded together and then tested to stand up to scratches and punctures under the most stressful of conditions, delivering a great balance of weight and wear resistance.

Also new, the X-Black BCD 2024 comes with four large zippered pockets instead of three. Mounted two per side, they expand cargo capacity while better balancing out the BCD.

On the shoulders, the newly designed epaulets are now elastic straps instead of hook and loop for better security and durability.

The backpack padding has been restyled as well and includes the classic Scubapro logo, plus the cummerbund and adjustable harness are more streamlined with Airnet® inner lining to enhance comfort and maximise water drainage.

Offering an expanded size range and so much more, the X-Black BCD 2024 is the perfect choice for avid recreational divers interested in a premium-quality, feature-rich, high-lift BCD.
