The Apeks Black Ice BCD has been designed for the most serious of recreational divers in mind. From Tech to Rec the Black Ice can meet all your demands and do it well. Designed to provide the comfort desired for daily diving and the features needed to take you over the edge, the Black Ice is ideal for the diver who does it all.
With the Advanced Diver in Mind Apeks have designed the Black Ice to be rugged; made from abrasion resistant materials. Back inflation wing design produces a lot of lift without restricting movement and because all of the buoyancy is flat on your back it gives you a more natural position in the water.
Wrapture Harness System utilises patented swivel shoulder buckles and a proprietary, ultra thin backplate which increases comfort and stability. The wrapture system prevents the BC from "riding-up" on the surface when inflated by holding onto you. Out of the water, the thin backplate keeps the cylinder close to your centre of gravity and transfers the weight to your hips, reducing the strain on your back. The result is the ability to stand up straight with a cylinder that is perfectly vertical.
Modular Design lets you adjust different parts of the harness to customise the length of each strap for a perfect fit.

Back to basics, what a great idea, none of this fancy new stuff so very simply to use, fits well and very even bouncy in the water, would recommend this to anyone who wants ease of use without all the confusion of new style BCDs

This was my fist bcd, went for the best, and have been delighted with its performance, no down sides, but a couple of things to be mindful of, this is designed to keep you in the correct position in under the water, on the surface when inflated yo

Information on trim pockets is incorrect. You can potentially get 4kg over two trim pockets also. Great BCD.

In most ways this is the best BCD that I have owned, very comfortable both in & out of the water. My only complaint would be the push clips that the brand uses instead of the standard squeeze clips, one of these broke on my BC & I am aware of others

This is probably the best BCD anyone will ever own. Easy to Adjust fits perfectly with a Fusion Drysuits, easy access to all dump valves, and doesn't push you face forward even though its a back level BCD it acts like a jacket. The weight pockets however will only take 4lb per slot and while its double height and two deep , i.e. takes 4x 4lb to get you to 16lb per side, the metric equivalent is hard to reach as the metric weights aren't low profile enough to fit. So you have to use the two rear trim pockets, or a weight belt or harness. Its very easy to don and doff for rescue scenarios and extremely ruggedly built as you'd expect from Apeks.

This is my first BCD as a new diver. I wanted a BCD which was somewhat future proof with back inflate only and ample capacity for weight. I have 3.2kg per side in the releaseable weight and another 1kg in both of the rear trim pockets. The BCD is very well put together and I feel as though it will last me many years, it will take twins but I have only used it with a 12l and 15l. I am 6ft with a slim build but broad shoulders and went with the Small/Medium, this fits perfectly. Certainly well worth it for the money. Do remember to remove the manual CD from the pocket before you dive!

This is my 2nd wing and have tried a few others nd by far the black ice is miles ahead of all the others. Weight pockets a a bit on the small side but can easily take enough weight when using shot bags. But all in jus a perfect bc for a beginner or a advanced diver and the ability to take twin sets jus makes it all the better

loving it , worth it for the money. Medium/large fit me perfectly. strongly recommend to buy this bcd if you got alot of things to go underwater with you

I absolutely love this BCD. As a guy who is 6'6" and slightly build the large fit really well and I love the fact that you can use the bolts to add room or take it in. The fact that you can use it with twin-sets is a bonus. It's dead comfy and the bungies tidy away the excess really well.

Typical Apeks Product very durable, well made, easy to use. Love the ability to custom fit it with the moveable bolts!
