DUAL PERSONALITY

The VOODOO takes the decision out of a back-wing BC vs. jacket style BC. Using a one-way valve, the diver can deliver air from the main rear-mounted cell to the supplemental side bladders. This allows the VOODOO to provide back-wing performance underwater and jacket-style stability on the surface. This weight integrated BC offers adjustable and padded cummerbund, supplemental weight/accessory pockets for extra storage, eight anodized black stainless steel D-rings and high-visibility handles for both dump valves and integrated weight pockets. This dual personality BC sings.
