The Innovator
That's the show name used for the annual presentations.
All the companies that actually manufacture diving equipment are there to show their new concepts for next year to the big brand name companies like ScubaPro, USD, Mares, IDI, Dacor, etc.
The big brand name companies then order various kinds of equipment from these factories to be made with their brand names on them to offer to the dive shops for the coming year.
This particular buoyancy compensator is made by Duton Industries which has manufactured buoyancy compensators for most of the big brand name companies in the USA, Canada, Europe and Asia for many years.
We bought 100 samples of this, their top of the line pro vest and sold them out in a very short time. We have had to re-order them in larger quantities many times. It has proven to be the single most popular piece of equipment we offer, with most of the sales coming from friends of divers who bought one on our website.
The biggest new feature of this BCD is a power inflator
that has a built in signal horn that works above and below the water.
Please note that it is a wrap-around buoyancy compartment, not a back flotation rig.
The air powered signal horn is fast becoming a safety standard among the better divers. This eliminates the need to spend $50 to $100 to add one to your rig.
Here are the features:
Lifetime warranty
Integrated air horn that signals above and below the water.
Integrated alternate air source that will not free flow.
Integrated weight system with large, easy to grasp dump handles.
Comfortable adjustable cummerbund that can be madelarger or smaller with straps in the back.
Three quick release straps to fasten the wings in front to secure the wings as you like.
Quick release buckles at each shoulder.
Ten stainless steel D rings to attach any possible combination of accessories.
Large pockets for collecting specimens or carrying tools.
1,000 denier Cordura/Polyurethane bonded, bladderless construction for a lifetime of use.
Snap on hose retaining clips to keep your console or other hose attachements in convenient reach.
Two automatic overpressure relief valves.
Three manual dump valves, one of which that can be operated from a horizontal normal swimming position without having to raise your hand over your head.
A padded hard pack with a rubber lined tank trough to eliminate tank movement.
You will notice the white numbers on the quick connect hose retaining strap located on the upper left shoulder. That means this BCD has passed the safety and quality testing required to sell it in most of the European countries. Most American BCD's cannot be sold in Europe. The BCD you will receive will not have the numbers painted on it. The numbers were painted on the ones on display at the DEMA show.
We are offering this BCD with an installed AB-2000, the high performance model of the Air Buddy alternate air source, installed on the power inflator. This model is suitable for tech diving.
