ScubaLab Jacket Style BCD Best Buy 2018
There's nothing fancy about the Tusa Liberator, but divers found much more than meets the eye. It took top score for assembly thanks to its simple, effective tank strap and tank-buckle cam. "Wow" was how one tester described the BC's comfortable, supportive fit. Although it has a fair amount of padding, it was almost dead neutral in the water. One diver noted that it was "so lightweight, I don't even feel like I'm wearing a BC." Divers found the Liberator stable and flexible, and able to easily switch between vertical and horizontal attitudes.
 
Its inflator is ergonomic (except for the oddly shaped mouthpiece) and provides precise flow control. The zippered cargo pockets are big and easy to access. Providing performance well beyond what you might expect from such a budget-friendly BC, the Liberator is our Best Buy for 2018.

Intermediate to Advanced Jacket BCD

The Advanced Weight Loading System III (AWLS) allows diver to insert weights into weight-cartridges and load them easily into the front of the BC jacket. Weight distribution to the shoulder area, weighted-down feeling that is associated with weight belts is eliminated. Weight-Cartridges can accommodate from 3.63 kg (8 lb) of weight in each cartridge.

The Ultimate Stabilising Harness (USH) completely eliminates tank roll and delivers an amazing fit. The USH securely holds the air cylinder in place with optimally placed rails and brings the cylinder closer to the body increasing tank control while reducing weight.

The RiteTite Buckle is a two position cam strap for quick and easy adjustment. While the strap is looped thru-the-buckle, the buckle stays in place without needing to be held. This allows for more control and stability.

The Tusa Liberator jacket BCD is made from 500 Cordura and 420D nylon material, with a urethane lamination that has radio frequency (RF) welded seams. Buoyancy control is facilitated with the TUSA Tilt Valve Inflator mechanism. Inflator is equipped with a left shoulder cable activated pull dump valve and comes complete with a 3/8" threaded QD hose assembly. The jacket BCD also has a right shoulder and right rear lower overpressure/relief valves with pull cords for trimming buoyancy in any position when diving. Storage and attachment of accessories is made easy with the two zippered pockets and 1 x stainless-steel and 5 x resin D-rings.

BCD comes with an owner's manual.
