Oceanic upgraded the Ocean Pro to the Ocean Pro 1000-D Buoyancy Compensator. The Ocean Pro 1000-D is constructed of heavy-duty, 1000-Denier fadeless fabric. Oceanic also added zippered pockets and the new, lower profile Quick Lock & Release (QLR3) weight system. The QLR Weight System has a capacity of 20 lbs. (9.1 kg) between the two weight pockets. The QLR assures weights stay in position throughout the dive and do not shift around affecting buoyancy or position in the water. The weight pouches are simple to load and easy to release. Best of all, Oceanic's patented "positive-lock" system helps to ensure that they'll stay put.
The BCD has a unique sternum strap with a built-in whistle. The Ocean Pro Jacket Style BCD comes equipped with Oceanic's Alliance integrated inflator. Ergonomically designed to be functional and easy to use in any dive position, the Alliance integrated inflator provides a full range of airway exhaust/inflation control. Simply press a button to produce precise flow for trimming dive attitude or maximum flow for major changes in buoyancy. A large exhaust valve creates a flow rate higher than the inflation rate of the power inflator, improving diver control during ascents.
The BCD's waist strap, torso shoulder adjustment straps and the sternum strap all have squeeze-style" quick-release buckles for easy of donning and doffing. A padded backpack, carry handle and molded tank cradle/anti-slip pad are all standard with the Ocean Pro BCD. BCD is equipped with 8-plastic D-rings. The BCD has an adjustable cummerbund and single cam cylinder band. The Oceanic Ocean Pro BCD provides from XS: 20 lbs. to 48 lbs. (9.1 to 21.8 kg) of lift depending on the size. BCD is black in color, comes with a low-pressure Quick-disconnect hose
