Salt Lake City, Utah (March 24, 2026) – Oceanic, a Huish Outdoors brand, proudly announces the launch of the Photon BCD, a next‑generation buoyancy compensator designed to adapt to every diver and every dive. Engineered with modularity, performance, and long‑term versatility at its core, Photon redefines what it means for a BC to truly grow with the diver.
ADAPTS 2 YOUR STYLE
Photon offers two distinct configurations:
- Photon Air— Lightweight, compact, and streamlined, ideal for traveling divers seeking effortless buoyancy control across global dive destinations.
- Photon Pro — Built for local diving and professionals, delivering higher lift, increased storage, and greater weight capacity for cold‑water and demanding conditions.
Designed to Grow With the Diver:
Unlike traditional BCDs that lock divers into a narrow fit window, Photon is engineered for long‑term adaptability. Its advanced, multi‑point adjustment system allows a single BC to comfortably span multiple exposure configurations—from thin tropical wetsuits to bulky cold‑water drysuits—while maintaining proper trim, balance, and comfort. This versatility makes Photon an ideal choice for instructors, traveling divers, and younger or newer divers who want a BC they won’t outgrow after a season or two.
Key Benefits:
- Modular Design: Upgrade or replace components as your diving evolves. Wings, weight systems, and accessories are fully interchangeable for maximum customization.
- Highly Adjustable Fit System: Photon’s multi‑point adjustment architecture delivers exceptional fit range within each size, allowing divers to fine‑tune shoulder, torso, and waist dimensions. This ensures a secure, stable fit across different body types, exposure suits, and stages of a diver’s progression.
- Men’s & Women’s Specific Fit: Three men’s and two women’s specific sizes per model, with ergonomic shoulder assemblies for enhanced comfort and performance.
- Premium Materials: Quick-dry multi-layer HydroWeave™ material that is UV-resistant and abrasion-proof for long-term durability.
- Accessory Options: Color kits, crotch strap kit, dive housing holster, utility storage pocket, and the innovative TankTamer quick-release band.
- Serviceable: The Photon ecosystem includes shared components and accessories that are interchangeable which allows easy and lower cost service if needed in the future
Performance Specs:
- Lift capacity: 25–34 lb (Air) / 34–42 lb (Pro)
- Ditchable weight: 10–20 lb depending on configuration
- Trim weight: 5 lb per pocket / 10 lb per BC
- Sizing: XS/SM, MD/LG, and XL/XXL with extended adjustment range to accommodate a wide spectrum of body types and exposure protection.
Commitment to Sustainability & Quality
Photon is manufactured using eco-conscious processes and responsibly sourced materials, reducing environmental impact without compromising durability. Each unit undergoes rigorous quality control and pressure testing to ensure reliability in the most demanding conditions. Packaging is made using recycled and recyclable materials, and the Photon BCD is constructed entirely with PFAS‑free materials, supporting a safer environment for divers and marine ecosystems.
“Photon was designed to be the most adaptable BC on the market,” says Nick Hollis, Oceanic Brand Manager. “From warm‑water travel to cold‑water local diving—and from a diver’s first certification through years of progression—Photon adjusts, evolves, and grows with the diver without compromise.”
