Top 10 Best BCDs


Controlling buoyancy is one of the most important aspects of scuba diving. Your buoyancy control device (BCD) is the main piece of dive equipment that will keep you in control during your dive. That's why it's important to choose the best scuba BCD to suit our personal needs.

Buoyancy control allows us to safely ascend and descend, as well as stay in a streamlined position during our dive, without crashing suddenly to the bottom. BCDs are quite an investment. They come in various shapes and sizes with many different features.

Unsure as to what type of BCD you need? Take a look at our guide to Buying a Scuba Diving BCD.

How do you know which one is right for you? Here at The Scuba Doctor, we've done the hard work for you when it comes to deciding what BCD suits you best. Our selection of the Top 10 Best BCDs available will enable you to move easily underwater with neutral buoyancy and great trim.

The Scuba Doctor Christmas Gift Guide 2015
A Christmas Gift Giving Guide for the Family, Friends and Colleagues of Scuba Divers

Santa Lloyd and his Elfin Assistant Hannah are loading up the sleigh and fattening up the reindeer for a delivery of a slew of the hottest diving gifts to give (and get) for this holiday season! Cheryl has been bringing Christmas cheer to the dive shop, and then we have Peter as our resident grinch.

Yes, it's that time of year again. Family, friends and colleagues know you love scuba diving but have no idea what you already own (apart from 'everything' if you ask other halves). They generally have even less idea what they should buy for a diver. Here we've got the perfect gifts for the Scuba Diver, Snorkeller, Freediver or Spearo to pass on as a gift guide.

Our Top Staff Requests For Santa This Year

Our staff get to play with all the diving toys so we asked them, "What do you want for Christmas?" Here are their top picks that are mostly within a reasonable budget. And for those of you who don't already have the extensive range of dive gear each of our staff members have, we also asked them about their top recommendations.

Toys


Lloyd still wants a H2Odyssey Torid-Pulse, the super underwater toy designed to shoot a high-speed bubble, like a smoke ring, very long distances underwater. Of course Lloyd considers it to be an extremely useful device to signal dive buddies underwater, or the support cover in the boat on the surface. He'd never say he just wants one so that he can play underwater tagger style games, or have some really serious fun while spending long times on the deco bar!

LED Dive Lights


Hannah still wants one of these super bright 1000 lumen dive lights if only to not feel left out because Lloyd, Cheryl and Peter each already have one. This rugged and dependable dive torch is great as a backup light on technical dives, and as a primary dive torch on recreational dives. Our customers have dived with these lights to 154 metres, and easily get 3 hour burn times while cave diving using just 3 x AA batteries.

Absolute Beginners

For absolute novices that are either about to embark on qualifying, or have just qualified, as an open water diver, then the essential pieces of basic kit are a dive mask, snorkel and fins. Remember you can normally colour coordinate these three items, so if the recipient is keen on their appearance, you may earn extra brownie points for this. If you are unsure try this short test, ask them what car they drive. If they answer with an answer along the lines of 'a blue one' then you should aim to colour coordinate!

Diving Mask

A mask with a quality, soft silicone skirt will generally fit all face types. Cheaper masks made using siltex won't conform as well to the diver's face and thus may be more prone to leaking. But we don't sell any silitex dive masks, so fear not!

Tusa Freedom Ceos Mask - Black or Indigo Skirt Tusa Freedom Ceos Mask - Black or Indigo Skirt
RRP: $147, Our Price: $145, You Save $2 (1%).
This is the twin-lens mask we strongly recommend and sell the most of for divers with petite to medium sized adult faces. It has one of the best fitting, most comfortable skirts on the market. Plus it's available with corrective lenses.


This is the twin-lens mask we strongly recommend and sell the most of for divers with medium to large sized adult faces. It's a real winner for comfort and style. Plus it's available with corrective lenses.

Tusa Freedom Elite Mask Tusa Freedom Elite Mask
RRP: $172, Our Price: $155, You Save $17 (10%).
A low volume, single lens mask that offers a clear, wide view to the underwater world. This mask securely fits a wide variety of faces, and suits divers with petite to medium sized adult faces.

Apollo SV-1 Diving Mask Apollo SV-1 Diving Mask
RRP: $119, Our Price: $109, You Save $10 (8%).
Lloyd prefers to dive with a single lens mask, so he likes this mask for it's great view. It's what he currently dives with because it works well when wearing a helmet. It suits divers with medium to large sized adult faces.

Why Black Skirt Diving and Snorkelling Masks Are Better
Clear skirts on diving and snorkelling masks are popular because they minimise the claustrophobic feeling some people get when they wear a mask. Nevertheless, clear skirts actually interfere with vision. Extraneous light entering through the clear skirt makes it more difficult for the eye to focus and causes reflections that obscure vision. Demonstrate this by looking out a window from a lighted room at twilight. You will see better by cupping your hands around your eyes as you press your face to the window. For these reasons, knowledgeable divers and snorkellers seeking the best possible vision prefer masks with black skirts. And we do too!

Corrective Lens Dive Masks
If the diver usually wears glasses while on their surface interval (that's when they're not diving), then it would be wise to get them a gift voucher so that they can get a dive mask with corrective lenses. We have a good selection of Corrective Lens Mask Packages available.

'Bifocal' or 'Gauge Reading' Lenses
If the diver usually needs reading glasses, then they could benefit from a dive mask fitted with 'gauge reading' or 'bifocal' corrective lenses.

Tusa Freedom Ceos Mask with Corrective Lenses -+B Tusa Freedom Ceos Mask with Corrective Lenses -+B
RRP: $303, Our Price: $295, You Save $8 (3%).
If you need a bifocal mask and have a petite to medium sized adult face then this is the dive mask we recommend. This is a top quality mask suitable for scuba diving, snorkeling, freediving and spearfishing. It fits a wide range of face shapes, plus has the greatest range of normal and bifocal corrective lenses available.

Apollo SV-2 Diving Mask with Corrective Lenses -B Apollo SV-2 Diving Mask with Corrective Lenses -B
RRP: $279, Our Price: $259, You Save $20 (7%).
For those divers with medium to large sized adult faces who need bifocal corrective lenses, we recommend this great dive mask. It's our top selling mask and comes in a great range of colours with bother clear and black skirts.

Diving Snorkels

Diving Snorkels are very much one size fits all, the only exception being younger teens and petite ladies who may prefer a smaller mouthpiece. Some divers prefer as simple a snorkel as possible. Others prefer a snorkel with devices to help stop water getting in, or to easily purge any water that does get in.

Tusa Hyperdry Elite II Snorkel Tusa Hyperdry Elite II Snorkel
RRP: $91.50, Our Price: $82, You Save $9.50 (10%).
This is the best features of TUSA's snorkels combined into one top-of-the-line model. With a low-profile dry top and angled purge chamber, staying dry has never been easier.

Apollo SV Dry Flex Silicone Snorkel Apollo SV Dry Flex Silicone Snorkel
RRP: $50, Our Price: $45, You Save $5 (10%).
This is our value for money diving snorkel this year. It's high quality, and low cost. It has a splash guard that eliminates 90% of any water entering the snorkel while on the surface, plus a purge valve for easy water clearing once surfaced. You can pay a lot more money and still not get a snorkel this good. Plus it's available in a great range of colours.

Diving Fins

You will need to know the persons foot size to purchase dive fins. However the first choice is whether to go for full foot fins or adjustable heel fins.

For warm water diving (i.e. where you get in the sea without screaming or taking a sharp intake of air), your diver will appreciate a pair of full foot fins.

Tusa Solla Full Foot Fins Tusa Solla Full Foot Fins
RRP: $129, Our Price: $116, You Save $13 (10%).
These are our preferred choice of full foot fins as they combine good propulsion and are light for travelling, which makes them a great choice for both scuba diving and snorkelling in the tropics.

In cooler waters, or where the shore diving is rocky, they will probably need some neoprene dive boots and a set of adjustable open heel fins. There are a wide range of dive boots, from thin 'sock' like ones through to all terrain rock boots. The thickness of the dive boot used effects which open heel fin size is required.

Apollo Bio-Fin Pro Fins with Spring Straps Apollo Bio-Fin Pro Fins with Spring Straps
- RRP: $395, Our Price: $335, You Save: $60 (15%).
We prefer open heel dive fins with stainless steel spring straps and these our our favourite. They are rated the world's number one dive fins for very good reasons. And when Apollo provide a FREE mask and snorkel valued at $169 when you plunk down your money on a pair of the Apollo Bio-Fin Pro Fins with Spring Straps, you're getting a great deal.

Cressi Pro Light Fins - Open Heel Cressi Pro Light Fins - Open Heel
RRP: $119, Our Price: $105, You Save $14 (12%).
These are value for money fins that are great for both scuba diving and snorkelling. The blade is extremely flexible and has snap requiring less kicking effort.

If the diver you're buying for already has a set of open heel fins that have the more common rubber straps, they might really like the gift of a set of bungee or steel spring straps to convert their dive fins to this safer, more easy to get on and off setup.

Newly Qualified Divers

Sonar X-Blunt 11 cm Stainless Steel Dive Knife If you are buying for a relatively new diver then (rather worryingly) dive knives are very popular. Generally new divers will have the basics, but will be yet to accumulate the extras. Other good accessories include a dive bag, dive torch, or if you want to really impress, a dive package.

Dive Bags

Dive bags are quite easy to buy as there is really only one decision to be made, is it transporting your gear for travel, a wet dive boat bag, a dry bag, or a catch bag?

Dive Travel Bag

This large and spacious travel bag is also the Scuba Diving ScubaLab Best Buy 2014. So it's just not us that thinks this one is great!

Dive Wet Bag

If the recipient wants a wet bag, where they keep their kit together on a dive boat but it can drain easily after the dive, then go for mesh bag. This one is our favourite because it's spacious and tough. It also comes with carry handles and a shoulder strap for easy carrying. This is by far our best selling mesh dive bag.

Catch Bag
Seaka Catch Bag - Spring Loaded - Premium Quality Seaka Catch Bag - Spring Loaded - Premium Quality
RRP: $99, Our Price: $89, You Save $10 (10%).
If your diver wants to be able to grab you a feed of scallops, abalone or a crayfish, then they'll need a good catch bag. This is our favourite because it's simply the best catch bag available. It's a no brainer. If your diver doesn't have one, they need one.

Dive Torch

A dive torch is a simple but really great gift. Underwater colours disappear quickly as you go deeper, but by using a dive light a seemingly dull grey rock can spring into view under the beam as a vibrant red or orange coral. They are also useful in and around wrecks to see hidden marine life.


We think this makes a great primary dive torch for the new diver. And if the diver already has a dive torch, it also makes for an absolutely brilliant backup dive torch. So you can't go wrong with this value for money gift.

Light & Motion Sola Dive 1200 Spot/Flood Light Light & Motion Sola Dive 1200 Spot/Flood Light
Our Price: $519
ScubaLab Tester's Choice! Waterproof to 90 metres. Massive 1200 lumen 60° flood beam. Powerful 500 lumen 12° spot beam. Rechargeable.

Dive Packages

We offer a few different dive packages:

Regulators

Dive Perfect Matilda Streamlined Sport Diver Regulator Package Dive Perfect Matilda Streamlined Sport Diver Regulator Package
RRP: $1,199, Our Price: $1,009, You Save $190 (16%).
Every detail of this product has been carefully designed to deliver a regulator package of the highest quality with improved safety. These regs meet the tough CE EN250 European standards, and are cold water and Nitrox ready.

Cressi T10-SC Master Regulator Set - DIN or Yoke Cressi T10-SC Master Regulator Set - DIN or Yoke
RRP: $979, Our Price: $859, You Save $120 (12%).
This top-of-the-range Cressi regulator package, with its environmentally sealed first stage, has been designed for the more extreme cold/temperate water diving environments, but it's equally suitable for warmer waters. This regulator set delivers outstanding flow rates and superior resistance to freezing, plus it's extremely comfortable to use. Fantastic performance, stunning finish and exceptional value for money.

Cressi MC9-SC XS Compact Pro Regulator Set - DIN or Yoke Cressi MC9-SC XS Compact Pro Regulator Set - DIN or Yoke
RRP: $699, Our Price: $649, You Save $50 (7%).
This great Cressi regulator package, with its environmentally sealed first stage, has been designed for the more extreme cold/temperate water diving environments of both technical and recreational divers, but it's equally suitable for warmer waters. This regulator set delivers outstanding flow rates, plus it's extremely comfortable to use, all essential qualities for any regulator.


For recreational divers seeking value for money regulator performance we recommend this regulator set. Lightweight and compact, this is an ideal reg set for the rigors of local diving, plus great for the traveling diver.

BCD Options

Eventually they will need the Buoyancy Control Device (BCD) too, but your budget will determine if you can include this. Don't worry if you can't, all BCDs are compatible with all regulators, so they can easily be added later. One note here, if you are buying for a lady make sure you get a package with a ladies BCD.


For both new and experienced divers we strongly recommend you look at a rear-inflation jacket BCD. This one is a great choice. Rear-inflation BCDs provide better stability and allow the diver to obtain better trim in the water.


While you can buy a wide range of traditional jacket BCDs with wrap around inflation bladders online, our favourite for 2014 is still the Cressi R1 Weight Integrated BC. It's made rugged and durable to take the rigors of frequent diving, and is more feature packed than comparable jacket BCDs.

Someone You Really Love

This section also is applicable for people buying for divers who have incriminating information or photos on you. You really need to prove your love so unfortunately (for you, not us or them) you will be required to invest some serious cash (read plastic). Seriously, there are some really great items in this category and you'll be relieved to know this is possibly the easiest category to buy for:

Dive Computer

The first thing to suggest would be a dive computer. It allows them to stay under water longer and provides greater safety.

Cressi Leonardo Dive Computer - Nitrox Wrist Cressi Leonardo Dive Computer - Nitrox Wrist
RRP: $449, Our Price: $349, You Save $100 (22%).
For a new diver, plus the experienced recreational diver, this dive computer has got all of the essentials, yet is simple to use and ideal for those who 'just want to dive'. This value for money, dive computer was awarded Scuba Diving ScubaLab Best Buy 2014.


A more experienced recreational diver, or beginner technical diver, would be better off with a mixed gas dive computer. Designed for serious divers, this one is loaded with features. We like the large, easy-to-read colour display, plus the high quality and durability of construction.

You may have noticed that we prefer and recommend wrist mounted dive computers. However, we also have both the Cressi Leonardo and Cressi Giotto dive computers available in a two gauge console with a matching surface pressure gauge (SPG) to also tell the diver how much air they have left.

Dive Cylinders

Evey divers needs a good dive cylinder to go underwater. And every diver can always make good use of another dive cylinder.

Faber Steel Cylinder - 232 bar - 12.2 litre std - DIN/K Valve Faber Steel Cylinder - 232 bar - 12.2 litre std - DIN/K Valve
RRP: $790, Our Price: $699, You Save $91 (12%).
For any diver, but especially those diving in cool and temperate water, this Faber steel cylinder is the ideal choice. It has a DIN/K valve and cylinder boot, plus is Nitrox ready. Technical divers going deep and wanting longer run times often twin up two of these cylinders.

Catalina S80 Aluminium Cylinder - 11.1 litre (80 cuft) - 207 bar Catalina S80 Aluminium Cylinder - 11.1 litre (80 cuft) - 207 bar
RRP: $525, Our Price: $500, You Save $25 (5%).
The 80 cubic foot aluminium cylinder has been the staple cylinder in the diving industry for many years. This cylinder is used by more divers, dive operators and retail dive stores than any other type of cylinder available. A great choice for those on a budget, or diving in warm water.

Underwater Images

Another brilliant gift is a dive camera or video unit. They range in price from about $500 upwards, but make for a superb present. These waterproof cameras or video units allow underwater images and memories to be captured forever.

Underwater Video Solutions
For a video solution, we'd suggest you get them a GoPro Hero4 Black or Silver edition. You really can't go wrong with this choice, plus it can be used to take photos as well. The included GoPro Standard Housing is waterproof to 40 metres (131 ft), which is fine for recreational divers. If your intended receipient is a technical diver, you might consider getting them the GoPro Dive Housing accessory, which is waterproof to 60 metres (197 ft).


If your diver wants to take great videos then they'll need underwater video lights. This is the ultimate turnkey imaging setup for a GoPro or other action camera. The package includes two GoBe+ 700 Wide Lights, two Locline Arms, two Locline Mounts, a CNC milled Action Camera Tray will transform desaturated underwater video footage into impressively vibrant, high definition imagery. Wide flood beam pattern for a large pool of light to optimise overall visibility.

Underwater Camera Solutions

Get amazing macro images with the Olympus TG-4! In microscope mode, this camera will get crazy close-up to the smallest sea critters, without the use of an accessory macro lens. The camera is waterproof on its own to 15 metres (50 feet) without a housing. Put it in the supplied Olympus PT-056 Underwater Housing and its good to 45 metres while diving. Add the Light & Motion GoBe+ Action Camera Kit for incredible macro still images and video. It's THE perfect starter rig for the budding underwater photo!


For the serious underwater photographer the Sea & Sea YS-D2 Strobe offers exclusive features like no other strobe in the world. The YS-D2 is a powerful compact strobe that can be used for all applications from wide-angle to macro photography.

Underwater Video / Photo Lights

Underwater LED lights for video and photos have rapidly improved in recent times, and we have the best available. Chances are the diver you're buying for would love a new high quality light for their new or existing photo or video setup.


This is a small, convenient diving LED underwater video light with a powerful 2200 Lumen, 100° wide angle beam without any hot spots.


We're predicting that the Intova Galaxy Video Light will be the top underwater video light on the market for some time to come. It's pure Intova, great performance and quality at an amazing price.


Ultimate underwater imaging light for the serious pro! Whopping certified 8000 lumens, wide 90° flood beam. Fast Charge in 1 hr 45 min. Waterproof to 100 metres.

Sea & Sea YS-03 Solis Underwater TTL Strobe Package Sea & Sea YS-03 Solis Underwater TTL Strobe Package
RRP: $749, Our Price: $674, You Save $75 (10%).
This compact and versatile strobe mimics the light intensity of the camera's built-in flash. Not necessary to manually adjust output. A favourite of compact camera underwater photo shooters.

Light & Motion Sola Photo 1200 Light Light & Motion Sola Photo 1200 Light
RRP: $519, Our Price: $467, You Save $52 (10%).
Perfect focusing and modeling light for underwater photography. 1200 lumens of white light, 60° flood beam. 300 lumens of red light, 60° flood beam.

Experienced Divers

You are going to need to come up with something either new, or non essential, as the chance is the diver in question has everything they already need to go diving. Good options in this category would be the safety items, books, and stocking stuffers that follow.

If you are unsure, a good option in this category is to consider a gift voucher as it allow the recipient to choose what they want.

Safety

You want you loved ones to come back from their dive adventures safe and sound. Given most divers tend to overlook quality safety devices, giving them as a gift is a great way to let them know you love them.

The Basics

It can be fixed with a stainless steel clip on your BCD, or with the included hose keeper on your gauge or inflator hose. Everything you need in an emergency.

Emergency Air Source

If you ask any commercial diver for a tip on how recreational divers can dive more safely, they typically reply that we should all have an emergency/redundant air source. These two EAS setups are great for when you're in recreational diving mode.

H2Odyssey Extra Air Source with Catalina S13 Cylinder H2Odyssey Extra Air Source with Catalina S13 Cylinder
RRP: $759, Our Price: $685, You Save $74 (10%).

This is great emergency air supply solution for solo divers and those doing non-decompression dives up to 40 metres deep. The extra air capacity enables you to safely get you back to the surface in the event of a primary gas supply failure. Ready to use with Nitrox up to 40%.

EAS setups like these are great for improving the safety of solo divers. And we all know you're diving solo if you or your dive buddy is more focused on taking underwater photos, shooting the next great underwater video, or hunting for scallops, crays and/or abalone.

Books

Our favourite books include:


This book by Bill Silvester is packed full of adventures, involving life-threatening experiences on shipwrecks in Southern Victoria. Using explosives to wrench non-ferrous metal in highly dangerous currents, this book will hold your attention as it recalls a diver's life in the 50's, 60's and early 70's using the primitive equipment available at that time. We cannot do anything like this now!

Shore Dives of Victoria (3rd Edition) Shore Dives of Victoria (3rd Edition)
