Technical divers know and trust Dive Rite for their top-of-the-line equipment. But you don’t have to be a technical diver to reap the benefits of Dive Rite gear. The Dive Rite Hydro Lite is no exception. Made from the same high-quality material as their technical equipment, the Hydro Lite is lightweight and comfortable.

Adjustment points for the shoulder straps, waist, and chest make the Hydro Lite able to fit virtually every body size and shape. Padded lumbar, hip, and shoulder straps make this one of the most comfortable BCDs on the market.

The Hydro Lite is light enough to be a travel BCD, but rugged enough for everyday use. One of our favorite things about the Hydro Lite is that it’s the perfect BCD for those looking to transition to backplate/wing diving without adding all the weight that comes with a stainless steel backplate.

Let’s dive in and take a closer look at the Dive Rite Hydro Lite BCD.
