New, highly improved version of the Aqualight model, this BC has been specifically designed for travellers and divers who want an ultralight BC without sacrificing that Cressi quality, finish and accessories.
It is made from 210-denier nylon combined with a special self-draining webbing. The soft backpack and tank attachment includes non-slip cushioning and two cambands.
The new version also introduces two large zip-up pockets on this model, perfect to stow small and large accessories.
Two wallet weight pockets are applied on the outer side of the main pockets, locked into position by a 40mm adjustable buckle. These pockets have been designed to stow a modest quantity of weight (up to a maximum of 3kg per pocket), which can be instantly dumped thanks to the "gravity" system.
Who is it for: Aqualight R is the perfect BC for demanding travellers. It is ultralight and strong at the same time and comes with all the accessories and technical features that have made Cressi BCs famous worldwide. Because it is close-fitting it has highly streamlined buoyancy, excellent even in strong currents.
Features
This new version of the Aqualight BC has some new, improved features, putting it right at the top of its category. Users love this BC because it is lightweight, easy to carry and it has excellent buoyancy, which in practice means excellent diving performance, even when dealing with currents.
It is made from 210-denier nylon, as it is light and strong at the same time, combined with a special self-draining webbing and strong grip rubber material inserts.
The BC structure does not have a rigid backpack to make for easy carrying. The tank is attached with special non-slip cushioning, complete with two cambands. On the back, at the top of the BC, there is a carry handle that can also be used as an extra safety attachment for the tank valves.
The back part of the BC inner is well-padded for diver comfort.
The waist strap is separate from the bag and is topped with a dual adjustment strap, allowing a natural "fold out" opening of the BC when there is a large amount of air, so the diver never feels any compression or constricting sensation.
It has three deflation/pressure valves: one on the upper end of the hose, a second one on the right shoulder, controlled by a pull tab and third one fitted to the bottom right rear, like all Cressi BCs controlled by a pull tab with the control on the lower front side of the BC for easier and quicker access to the deflation knob.
The two zip-up accessories pockets have been enlarged. They are topped by 2 wallet-style weight pockets, which have also been expanded and are locked into position by a 40mm adjustable buckle. These pockets have been designed to stow a modest quantity of weight, up to a maximum of 3kg per pocket; the weight can be easily stowed even in the water and instantly dumped thanks to the gravity system.
