When I updated my bcd because my first one was falling apart (I loved my first one, it was jacket style with pockets so big I could fit my old, film camera in its housing inside), I bought a back inflate with an integrated Air2, because that was the thing at the time.


The pocket (not pockets) is so small, it might as well not exist. Well, it will fit a reefmaster mini camera, but it’s a drop-down, hanging pocket with no protection, and it’s too low and too far to the back of the bcd that I can’t reach it under water to put anything in, or take anything out (I now tuck my reefmaster mini down the front of my wetsuit, it stays nicely put right below my clavical).


And, the Air2 is too big for my small hands, it makes inflating and deflating a chore.


If I had to do it over, I might get the same style bcd, regardless of the flimsy pocket, but I’d never get the Air2. (althought it might be okay for a guy since men have bigger hands)
