Pro QD with i3 Technology

The Pro QD is the first BC that incorporates i3 technology. For years, the Pro QD has been an extremely popular BC for novices and experts alike. Now, with the addition of i3 technology and fresh, new cosmetics, its popularity is sure to soar.

• Integrated i3 technology for safer and easier control of inflation and deflation
• One upper and one lower Flat E-Valve keeps the BC streamlined while offering effective and responsive air dumping
• One-way valves prevent water from back flushing into the BC, greatly reducing captured water
• The oral inflator is easy to deploy and use. It can easily be removed to provide a access port should you ever need to rinse the inside of your BC
• SURELOCK™ mechanical weight release system (patented) offers unsurpassed ease of loading, ditching and security of weight pouches
• Two lobe-retaining D-rings that can be held to steady the lobe for easy weight pouch insertion
• Two 10lb weight pockets on sizes XS – ML. Two 16lb weight pockets on sizes L - XXL
• Two, side-release non-ditch pockets (except size extra small) increase overall weight carrying capacity as well as provide proper trim in the water
• A new, integrated Octo-pocket (patent pending), is a convenient way to secure your octopus regulator
• A three-dimensional expanding gusset around the backpack (patented) provides increased lift capacity
• Outer bladder constructed of Armorshield™ Cordura® for increase wear and fade resistance
• Sculpted shoulders using the exlcusive Sea Quest swivel buckle system (patented) provides unsurpassed fit and comfort
• Traction pad (patented) built into the proprietary contour back pack prevents cylinder slippage

Aqua Lung Simplifies BC Inflation Control With Intuitive Device

i3 technology revolutionizes underwater ascent and descent with simple lever

Aqua Lung, the leader in SCUBA diving products, has once again advanced the technology of diving with the streamlined i3 integrated inflation and deflation system housed in the Sea Quest Pro QD buoyancy compensator (BC). The innovative i3 allows divers to simply and intuitively control their ascent and descent by pulling a lever up and down to surface or dive deeper.

Buoyancy control is a challenging skill to master. The i3 simplifies the process. Instead of using a traditional BC setup with a cumbersome inflation device on the end of a hose and separate pulls at each vent to dump air, the i3 system uses one simple lever, fixed to the BC on the left hip. When the lever is pulled up, air is transferred from the diver's tank into jacket, making it more buoyant. Conversely, pushing the lever down opens both an upper and lower one-way air valve simultaneously releasing air from the BC.

By utilizing a push rod system, as opposed to hydraulics or pneumatics, Aqua Lung's i3 is the most reliable integrated system for perfect buoyancy. It is also the industry's most streamlined design. The small lever, positioned where the left hand naturally rests, can be used with just the thumb and forefinger. The jacket features Flat E-valve™ technology for the two dump valves. This innovation reduces drag in the water and maintains the jacket's low-profile.

The intuitive i3 system is available in the Sea Quest Pro QD, Aqua Lung's most popular BC. The Pro QD is a heavy-duty, yet lightweight, BC rich with features including the SURELOCK™ mechanical weight release system and patented swivel buckles for the best comfort and fit.

The i3 system in the Pro QD buoyancy compensator is available starting in December from all Aqua Lung dealers across the country. The system retails for $645. The Pro QD with the traditional inflation and dump system will still be available as well for divers who prefer to control each dump valve individually.
