Genesis Origin BCD Review
Where to buy
Where to buy
Let’s face it—scuba diving is an expensive hobby, especially when you’re first starting out. Gear and equipment are a major investment. You want something that is safe and reliable, but at the same time won’t break the bank. We’re definitely not saying to skimp on safety or quality, but there’s nothing wrong with saving a buck or two.
This is where the Genesis Origin BCD comes in. It’s budget friendly, yet still safe and durable enough to last multiple dive seasons. Lightweight, the Origin can still pack a punch and delivers 49.5 pounds of lift (in the large size) and has enough D-rings to secure all your safety equipment such as your SMB and reel.
Let’s dive in and take a closer look at the Genesis Origin BCD.
