The New SEAC Trip Foldable Travel BCD provides the perfect balance between freedom of movement, fit, comfort and functionality thanks to a list of new features

More simplicity for a backmounted BCD, and thanks to its extremely low weight and foldable backpack, it becomes the ideal companion for your travels.

The Sherpa is a durably-constructed, full-featured hybrid air-cell BC. Unique, hybrid rear-inflation bladder enables air to "shift," which provides maximum amount of lift and keeps you properly orientated on or below the surface.

The Hera BC is designed specifically for the female form. Specially contoured panels & straps provide a comfortable and secure fit.

The Air Travel can be easily packed into carry-on luggage and is the ultimate in high-performance travel BCs

This full-sized, jacket-style BC offers a comfortable, secure fit with an adjustable cummerbund to contour to your body.
