3 Simple Tips to Find the Right Travel BC

Here’s how to make your search for the best BC even easier.

1. If you travel on small aircraft to the tropics, start with lightweight styles. If you lean toward cooler waters, find the minimum features you need and the BC that satisfies those needs.

2. Even if a BC packs small or provides the buoyant lift and weight capability you need for your diving style, keep looking until you find the one that gives you the comfort you need.

3. A BC is the wrong choice if it won’t safely provide the lift and ballast load you need. Don’t be tempted to cut corners on lift, or try to stuff more into weight pockets than they’re rated for.
