Thanks Bob- been diving this vest for over a year and just learned some new tips and features I did not know of- Your comment about upright surface buoyancy is key!
I'm a new diver and purchased the 17, I really can't compare it to anything else. I can say the 17 is very comfortable and, in my opinion, a good value with good features
Dear Divers-Supply, i've checket multiple videos on the Aqua Lung Pro HD and my question is what kind of material does it have? Aqualung says it's ResisteK but I didn't find anything on this fabric.
It is a special fabric that is tougher and more resistant to salt water and chlorine as well as sun damage. So it will last longer as well as look newer for longer
Hi Zoltan and thanks for the note. You're correct on the term is ResisteK, but little is known about this product. There is a company in China that specializes in ceramics, that "may" have some connection, but I can't find a specific relationship to it. I will say the material is tough in comparison to some other BCs with 400 and 500 denier nylon construction. Regards Bob C
I was thinking the same thing. I have been using the 17 since 2018 and I use that handle every time I lift the rig from horizontal when shore diving and when carrying on/off a boat.

Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching and your comments.. Regards Bob C
That’s Bob this was a great video. My be time for me to upgrade my Dacor Chamaeleon BCD. After all these decades I still love a Jacket.
Lord-V hey for years I dove the SP Glide BCD. There's nothing wrong about diving a Vest/Jacket style BC.

Why would they cover the handle. that handle is super useful!
Hey it's Aqua Lung... ???

does the pro HD come with an LPI hose for the inflator/deflator?
It should ! Double check the zippered pockets and sometimes they are shoved up in one of the weight pocket slots on the side. Bob C
