IST Sports Corp., founded in 1976, started out as an original equipment manufacturer producing quality masks and snorkels for well-known international brands. From the beginning, IST has built up a solid reputation in supplying quality and reliable products with excellent back up service. We were fortunate to have gained many valuable partners worldwide along the way but in the quest for more success, the company soon decided to establish its own brand by using the very same name. 

Sure, there might be other dive gear deemed more important to basic survival (a reg) or your general well-being (a dive computer) than a BC. But when it comes to being able to comfortably acclimate to being underwater — to the point where you feel like a resident rather than a clumsy topside tourist — the BC is the most important component of your kit. And nothing does a better job of providing comfort, security and near-effortless stability than a jacket-style BC.
