SEAC Type BCD

Classic Comfort. Modern Performance.

The SEAC Type BCD represents the next generation of traditional jacket-style buoyancy compensators, combining proven comfort with modern materials and innovative design. Lightweight, durable and exceptionally comfortable, it's an ideal choice for newly qualified divers, experienced recreational divers and anyone looking for a dependable all-round BCD.

Constructed from tough 420D Nylon with an integrated back support, the SEAC Type distributes weight evenly across your back while maintaining excellent comfort both on the surface and underwater. Its redesigned mono-bladder system provides outstanding buoyancy without restricting movement or compressing the abdomen, allowing you to dive comfortably throughout the day. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Designed to Fit Every Diver

Unlike many traditional jacket BCDs, the SEAC Type features an innovative mono-bladder that inflates independently of the harness. As the bladder expands, it remains positioned around the hips rather than squeezing the diver's torso, providing exceptional comfort and unrestricted breathing throughout the dive.

The redesigned harness system and rotating shoulder buckles naturally follow your body's movement, reducing pressure across the shoulders and chest while improving overall fit. This also makes the BCD particularly comfortable for female divers by minimising strap compression across the bust. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Comfort Above and Below the Surface

Whether you're preparing your equipment on the dive boat or spending an hour exploring a wreck, comfort makes a difference.

The integrated back support evenly distributes the weight of your cylinder, while the lightweight construction helps reduce fatigue during long days of diving. Underwater, the hydrodynamic profile and balanced air distribution promote excellent trim and stability, helping you maintain a relaxed diving position with minimal effort. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Integrated Weight System

The SEAC Type comes equipped with an integrated quick-release weight system capable of carrying up to 4kg in each main pocket, eliminating the need for a traditional weight belt.

Additional rear trim weight pockets hold up to 2kg each, allowing you to fine-tune your weighting for improved balance and a more streamlined position underwater. Large ergonomic handles make emergency weight release quick and intuitive when required. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
