What are the components of a BCD jacket?

A BCD Buoyancy Control Device jacket is an essential piece of equipment for scuba diving that helps divers control their buoyancy and stay afloat at different depths. The main components of a BCD jacket typically include:

Bladder: This is the inflatable part of the BCD jacket that provides buoyancy. It can be inflated or deflated using an air valve to adjust the buoyancy of the diver.
Harness: The harness is the part of the BCD jacket that secures the bladder to the divers body. It usually consists of adjustable straps that go over the shoulders and around the waist.
Weight pockets: These are pockets on the BCD jacket where divers can store lead weights to help them sink and maintain neutral buoyancy underwater.
Tank band: The tank band is a strap that secures the scuba tank to the BCD jacket, keeping it in place during the dive.
Inflation and deflation mechanisms: These are the valves and buttons used to inflate or deflate the BCD jacket bladder, allowing the diver to control their buoyancy.
Integrated Octopus holder: Octopus holder on BCD allows quick access to the secondary regulator of scuba gear.
Various accessory pockets: These pockets are used to store small accessories like dive knives, whistles, compasses, etc. You can buy all these from SEAC, Mares, Aqualung, Apeks, and Beuchat brands. The complete mounting system for the BCD jacket includes a vest. The jacket style BCD is very suitable and provides pockets for storage and is found with pouches for weight combination that replaces the need for another weight belt. Jacket BCDs are stable in all situations in the water.
