SCUBAPRO’s Litehawk BC
SCUBAPRO’s Litehawk BC
I’ve been pretty attached to my BC for about eight years, but I was intrigued by the wing design of SCUBAPRO’s Litehawk BC and wanted to try it out on my trip to Grenada in November. This back-buoyancy BC offers a clutter-free harness design with a low-profile, high-lift air cell. The rig carries zero inherent buoyancy, yet it still provides ample padding in the back and lumbar areas, and even partially around the waist. Swivel shoulder buckles allow you to route straps under your arms for a dialed-in fit.
