Cressi Travel-Friendly Light Back Inflation BCD for Scuba Diving | Patrol: Designed in Italy
The Patrol is a dorsal volume BCD, very versatile for all types of diving, with a robust but lightweight construction at the same time and with a low volume of transport but strong and very flexible
The harness system which is completely independent of the air bladder, provides absolute stability of the jacket on the diver and releases all oppression of the chest, axillary and abdominal area, completely, due to the expansion of the bladder to the outside of the dorsal area and surrounding the tank
The design and arrangement of harnesses make it unisex
High-lift capacity dorsal air bladder but with an external volume of stowage always contained, thanks to the elastic containment tensioners that have as an additional mission to facilitate the deflation and avoid displacement of the air during the dive that would cause instability
Patrol's backpack is very light and semi-flexible to fulfill its function without adding weight or volume to it
Completely covered with comfortable neutral buoyancy padding, made of a closed-cell material that avoids the accumulation of water or air and, therefore, reduces the inherent buoyancy in the jacket and facilitates quick drying
Unlike many BCD considered as "travel jackets", the stability of the tank underwater is not compromised thanks to the configuration of the air chamber that acts as a guide for the tank
The weight system LAS (Lock Aid System) 2.0, is now more integrated in the profile of the BCD and its thickness is reduced
This system, following the Cressi tradition, guarantees the maximum facility of insertion and releasing of the weight with total safety against accidental losses since its anchors incorporate a spring effect (patented) in anticipation of accidental hooks
Its use is highly ergonomic and intuitive even without looking
Direct System Inflator: Double metal filter in the air entrance under the stem and cylindrical shape around the valve
Very strong body and attractive design

Anti-sand design with minimized mouth inflator nozzle
Push-button with wide clearances with respect to its seat to avoid the blocking action of the sand grains
