Cressi Solid Plus BCD – Weight Integrated Scuba Diving B.C.D.

Built for demanding dive operations, the Cressi Solid Plus BCD is a rugged, weight-integrated buoyancy control device designed specifically for dive schools, rental fleets, training environments, and frequent recreational diving use.

Engineered to withstand repeated use in both saltwater and chlorinated training pools, the Solid Plus combines durability, comfort, and streamlined functionality in a practical wraparound-style design trusted by professional dive operators worldwide.

Designed for High-Use Dive Environments

The Cressi Solid Plus BCD is purpose-built for intensive commercial and recreational diving use. Its durable 500-denier Cordura outer shell and 420-denier nylon interior are specifically selected to resist wear from repeated saltwater exposure, pool training sessions, and daily transport handling.

The high buoyancy design provides excellent surface support and confidence for newer divers, while the wraparound jacket style offers stable underwater trim and comfort across varying conditions commonly encountered around Sydney, NSW, and Australian coastal dive sites.

Comfort-Focused Practical Design

Unlike many traditional rental BCDs, the Solid Plus focuses heavily on diver comfort and usability.

The independent waist strap design prevents unnecessary pressure around the torso when the BCD is fully inflated, improving comfort during long dives and surface waits. Adjustable shoulder straps with oversized buckles allow fast fitting for different body types, while the integrated carry handle makes moving fully assembled scuba units significantly easier for instructors, boat crews, and students.

A highly visible rear protection panel also helps reduce abrasion damage caused by regulator first stages while improving student identification during group dives and training sessions.

The Solid Plus includes multiple storage and equipment management features designed to keep divers organised and streamlined underwater:

• Dedicated octopus holder pockets
• Console/gauge storage pockets
• Two zippered utility pockets
• Durable plastic D-rings for accessory attachment
• Dual dump valves for buoyancy control flexibility
• Optional second cylinder strap compatibility for additional tank stability

The integrated Quick Lock System allows secure weight installation and rapid emergency release when required.
