Dimension i3 from SeaQuest... The ultimate BCD has arrived!

Big words, but when you come and look at one, you'll agree! And judging by the fact that this is the only BCD we've had customers on a waiting list to buy before they even arrived in NZ, the divers out there in the know agree!

If you want to experience a new dimension in comfort, stability, and streamlined design, THIS IS IT!

And on sale right now!!

dimension_i3_Small

An Aqua Lung first! The Dimension i3 is a back inflation BC with an integrated i3 inflation / deflation system.  Loaded with features, this innovative buoyancy compensator is built with high quality materials keeping both comfort and style in mind. 


By placing the air cell behind them, the diver is more streamlined

The integrated i3 control system provides a single touch control for both inflation and deflation

Flat e-valves are very streamlined and effective. One-way design keeps water out

The multiple dump feature means that when you depress the i3 lever, all of the flat e-valves open at once! No more reaching for the wrong valve

Custom backpack is thin to keep cylinder close to your center of gravity and efficiently distributes the cylinder weight
The Wrapture™ Harness System works in conjunction with the shoulder swivel buckles (patented) to prevent ride-up and supports the weight pockets

The patented SureLock™ II weight system provides a simple, single pull release. Loading is as simple as insert and "click" they're in! Never lose a weight pocket again!

Pull down oral inflator is easy to deploy and stow

A strong retractor band is used to pull in the sides of the bladder while deflating

An adjustable chest strap can be raised and lowered on a rail system

HP and MP hose routings through the back keep your entire kit low profile thus minimizing drag

We have these amazing BCD's in stock, so for the diver in your family that wants the best -
get them into a new Dimension!
