If you are planning to go scuba diving and you need a device to keep you afloat, consider purchasing the Genesis Drift Buoyancy Control Device. Being a lightweight, jacket style BCD, this device feels comfortable to wear and you’ll look fashionable with it on your body.
This inexpensive BCD jacket features a weight integrated system that makes it feel even lighter with its two, eight pound (3.6 kg) quick release weight pockets. These weights in these pockets can be easily ditched by pulling their release handles.
The weight pockets on the Genisis BCD are gravity driven and are among the easiest to operate in a diving emergency. Its harness assembly consists of an adjustable waist strap with cummerbund, a removable and adjustable sternum strap, and torso adjustable shoulder straps.
For easy donning and doffing, squeeze-style, side release buckles are fitted on this BCD’s straps. The Genesis Drift also features a power inflator mechanism with cable activated pull dump at the left shoulder for easy buoyancy control. In case you are inverted in the water, you can easily trim buoyancy and correct your body position by pulling a handle on the rear right side of the vest, which manually releases the overpressure relief valve.

Internally this device contains a urethane lamination air cell with seams welded with radio frequency (RF) technology for airtight integrity.
