SCUBAPRO Glide BCD with AIR2
The updated SCUBAPRO Glide BCD is ideal for those who prefer the comfort and security of a front-adjustable BCD. It features a soft neoprene neck and padded backpack to optimize comfort, plus a Y-Fit shoulder design that adapts to the body better.
The Glide features a more streamlined backpack padding that increases comfort while decreasing unwanted buoyancy for maximum control at depth. The wraparound air bladder retains its cradle-like shape even when fully inflated, while the Super Cinch tank buckle system locks the tank in solid for maximum stability at depth.

Maintenance Tips
- Rinse the BCD and AIR2 system thoroughly with fresh water after every dive, including the bladder, inflator/regulator, dump valves, harness, and weight pockets, then allow all components to air dry completely.
- Partially inflate the bladder while rinsing to flush out salt, sand, and debris from the interior, then drain completely before storage.
- Inspect the Y-Fit harness, AIR2 regulator, hoses, buckles, straps, dump valves, and integrated weight system before each dive for signs of wear, leaks, or damage.
- Test the AIR2 inflator/regulator and all dump valves before every dive to ensure smooth inflation, deflation, and emergency breathing performance.
- Check the Super Cinch tank buckle, weight pockets, and attachment points to ensure everything is securely fastened before entering the water.
- Store the BCD in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight with the bladder slightly inflated to help maintain its shape and prolong material life.
- Have the BCD and AIR2 system inspected and serviced annually by an authorized SCUBAPRO technician using genuine replacement parts to ensure safe, reliable performance.
