Tailored Fit for Optimized Comfort
SCUBAPRO Women's Hydros X BCD with AIR2
The Hydros X is SCUBAPRO's first front-adjustable BCD to feature the same adaptable, form-fitting Monprene shoulders and back pad popularized by the Hydros Pro back-inflation BCD.
Comfort is key with a flat-buckled quick-release integrated weight system and rear trim weight pockets working together to offer a more balanced ride when diving. Simple, safe, and reliable, they offer a fixed location for easy one-hand operation.
Secure and Stable
The full-sized backpack and stainless steel Super Cinch tank band securely locks the tank in solid for maximum stability at depth as well as excellent stability on the surface.
The Hydros X also features a durable, lightweight fabric bladder made of high-tenacity EndurTex 420 nylon and two rear trim pouches to help create a comfortable swimming position.

Durable, Form-Fitting Monprene
Featuring fully injection molded Monprene thermoplastic shoulders and back pad, the Hydros X conforms to your body like a tailored fit.
Extremely resistant to UV, chemicals, and abrasion, ultra-durable Monprene also doesn’t absorb water — minimizing drying time.
The modular construction also makes it easy for components to be detached for repair or replacement, or color kit customization.
Loaded with Storage Options
The two big zippered cargo pockets offer great gear-carrying capacity and are easily accessible even when the weight pouches are fully loaded.
Two stainless steel D-rings provide clip-on points for additional gear.
The Hydros X also features a Multi-Mount Accessory Matrix with multiple D-Ring and mounting points that easily attach various dive accessories — a knife, light, surface marker buoy (SMB), hoses, and much more.
AIR2 Inflator Regulator
This Hydros X model comes with the fifth-generation AIR2 backup inflator regulator. Combining a backup regulator with a buoyancy control system, the AIR2 delivers air as smoothly as most primary second stages and is always within easy reach.
The AIR2 power inflator fits comfortably in the hand, and the large inflate and deflate buttons can be differentiated by both color and touch. Large bite tabs on the mouthpiece provide a secure grip in high-stress situations. It is CE-certified for waters 50-degrees Fahrenheit or warmer.

I was looking for a travel size BCD so that I would not have to ever check luggage. This one fits the bill, but I don’t love it. It comes with a backpack that you can cram it into along with a few other pieces of gear, but it has exactly 0 pockets. Who makes a backpack with no pockets? it has two straps on the backpack that allow you to attach it to your rolling luggage bag, or you could probably attach a pair of fins externally. That’s the only extra storage option on it.The weight pockets are pretty big and bulky. It’s a trade-off having the weights integrated in the BCD, which I like a lot. But not having the pockets would save a lot of room in the small backpack. I’ve seen other Travel BCD’s without the pockets that seem like they would take up a lot less space in a bag. Cressi and Oceanic each have very small travel BCD models, but you’ll need to dive with a weight belt. That may not seem like a big deal, but when you dive with integrated weight, you realize what a great feature that is. I guess it’s a trade-off between a small size for packing and more features on the Scubapro.This BCD has no pockets, which is pretty inconvenient I am looking at adding a Scubapro pocket that affixes to the bottom of the weight pocket just to have space for a light or any other small equipment item.The integrated air on the BCD hose is a big plus. It means one less hose on your primary valve. The idea is that if a diver needs your octopus, you give them your primary hose and breathe off your BCD inflation hose and mouthpiece. It stays out of the way without taking up a pocket or needing a clip. I have not used it as my air supply underwater, though I believe I will do so on my next dive trip.I have 18 hours underwater with this BCD and I like it. With the air bladders on the side and back , you sort of hang in it when you are neutrally bouyant. It is not confining at all. I tried on a M-L and an L. I went with the L on the recommendation of my dive shop. However, I wish I had gone a size smaller. My chest strap is as tight as it can go, and I could probably go a little tighter. overall it feels a little big on me. I am 6 feet and 220 pounds.Still, if you have a dive shot near you, I suggest working with them. You can try on gear, get advice and the prices are the same.
