Cressi BCDs

About

Cressi has a long history of innovation in buoyancy control devices. With the introduction of Equi-Vest, a groundbreaking jacket drawing air from the first stage and offering a seamless connection with the tank, in 1970 they created the first very basic version of the modern BCD. Today, Cressi continues to innovate offering a range of buoyancy compensators for different diver profiles. From the simple, yet incredibly rugged Start BCD, which is a common sight in rental lines, to the compact and travel-friendly Travelight that features a fast system for folding, each Cressi BCD is designed with reliability and functionality in mind. The brand offers both jacket-style and back-inflated BCDs, ensuring divers can find the right fit for their preferences. Known for being budget-friendly, many Cressi models outperform pricier competitors, making them a top choice for divers seeking quality without breaking the bank.
