Assessment of five great travel BCDs that are lightweight and supply good features and value to a range of divers from the amateur to advanced divers.

I am a professional underwater photographer and my equipment is extremely important to me and takes plenty of wear and tear. I need gear that is resilient over hundreds if not thousands of dives and as "travel" worthy as possible. There have been a number of great new lightweight or travel [http://www.squidoo.com/workshop/best-travel-bcd-for-scuba-diving BCDs] which have come out in the last 3 years and I have highlighted some of my choice ones below.

The objective of any BCD should be function first and then comfort. The Lightweight  BCDs reviewed here supply a practical degree of function and along with good fit. The trade off on[http://www.squidoo.com/workshop/best-travel-bcd-for-scuba-diving  travel BCDs] is usually restrictions in storage pockets, lift (which is extremely important if you carry a lot of weight when you dive), security of your tank while you are scuba diving, D-rings for optional equipment and ride when you are on the surface of the water.

The BCDs listed below provide good form and function and a varying degree of additional features.  Examine the capabilities of all and ascertain that best meets your requirements.  I believe most divers should be pleased with any of these BCDs and I would love to get your opinion as well. <strong>Great Travel BCDs</strong>
