Available in sizes down to XXS fitting the smallest of divers! A perfect BCD for the diver looking for minimal weight integration at the right price. The Cressi-sub Aquapro 5R features a 12-20 lb integrated weight capacity, and a padded backpack with adjustable lumbar support.
A new version of the very popular Aquapro 5, one of the most successful Cressi BCDs.
Over the years, this popular model has been constantly improved and it now comes in this version that is so well-equipped and with so many accessories that it has little to envy the best products on the market, while retaining a very accessible purchase price.
Without wishing to alter the highly successful and very well-balanced form of the bag, the two shoulder straps have a 20 mm increase of distance between them and the jacket profile flares out more in the underarm zone, guaranteeing decidedly superior comfort.
The accessory pockets, which used to be closed with Velcro, have been enlarged, and now fold out and are zip-closed.
The "gravity" weight pockets, applied to the side of the main pockets, now have a bigger capacity and can easily hold up to 3 kg of weight per pocket. Their pocketbook opening makes it easy to stow the lead weights, even while in the water.
New Fastex buckles of a generous size guarantee the opening and closing operations of these pockets.
The backpack is completely new, anatomic, light and very hard-wearing. The rear part incorporates an elastomer non-slip element, for perfect grip of the tank, assisted in this operation by a second adjustable strap, to be placed round the neck of the tank or on the valves and fittings.
The upper inner side has a strong carry handle for the unit and the entire backpack is thickly padded.
The waist strap is separate from the bag and is surmounted by a dual adjustment strap, to allow natural "fold out" opening of the BC (Freematic system) when there is a large amount of air, thus preventing any compression and squeezing sensation at all to the diver's body.
It has 3 dump/pressure valves: one is situated on the upper extremity of the hose, a second one on the right shoulder, controlled by a small tubed line and a third one fitted to the bottom, right rear, controlled, as with all Cressi-sub jackets, by a small tubed line that has the control on the lower front side of the BC to find the control knob more easily and quickly.
