BCD Cressi Start Pro v2.0 IC72190x

BCD Cressi Start Pro v2.0

Designed primarily as a rental BC for resorts and dive schools, the Start Pro 2.0 gives students and customers the stability of a jacket style BC and the convenience of weight integration. Diver operators will appreciate its bullet-proof construction using 1000 and 500 Denier Cordura and large, easily to see size markings on the shoulder. The Start 2.0 has two unique “gravity” releasable weight pockets equipped with rugged squeeze-style quick-release buckles. The back support is rigid for proper cylinder stability, but is fully padded for comfort and the ridged backpack is equipped with a grab handle for easy transport and gear donning assist. 

Adjustable sternum strap, waist strap along with both torso adjustment shoulder straps are equipped with squeeze style” quick-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. The BCD has three over-pressure relief/dump valves with two located on the left and right shoulders and a third lower valve on the rear right of the air cell. All three can be manually dumped two with pull cords and the other with the power inflator mechanism. BCD has two techno-polymer D-rings and two additional spring clip holder rings for attachment of instruments and accessories. The Start Pro 2.0 is equipped with the Cressi’s streamline Commando Power Inflator with cable activated pull dump valve and 3/8″ threaded quick-disconnect hose. Shoulder overpressure relief valve with pull cord is provided for trimming of buoyancy. The inflator mechanism is environmentally sealed for greater reliability and less maintenance. 

Two large cargo pockets with hook and loop closures are great for storage of gloves or a small dive light and more. The weight pockets have a capacity of 20 lbs. (9 kg.) of hard or soft weighs. The BCD has a lift capacity from 29.2 lbs. to 45 lbs. (13.3 kg to 20.4 kg) depending on the BCD size. The Start Pro weighs from 4.8 lbs. to 6.2 lbs. (2.1 kg to 2.8 kg) dry. BCD comes with an owner’s manual.

Strong Enough to Rent, Bullet-Proof for Recreational Divers
Stability of a Jacket Style BC

Cressi Start Pro v2.0 BCD Features:

Large wings and large capacity pockets to optimize the buoyancy/size ratio. Internal weldings with sectorization tubes to optimize buoyancy

Integrated weight system. This is a very simple, durable and easy weight management system. It enables the diver to autonomously manage the weights. It is also very useful for dive centers and schools, as instructors can quickly and easily adjust students’ weights while diving. Pockets close with YKK zippers

 

 

 

 

 

 

New upper dump valve with non-return system to avoid water infiltration, even when the jacket is deflated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anchoring flap for the inflator hose in thermoplastic rubber with embossed logo

 

 

 

 

 

Inflator with double air filtration system; under the hose connection stem and around the valve. Easily disassembled for small cleaning operations, even at the beach (sand infiltration, etc)

Three vacuum overpressure valves.

 

 

 

Backpack as lean and compact as possible for exceptional lightness. Ultra-durable and semi-flexible. Thermoplastic rubber damper for enhanced tank anchoring. Double waistband strap available. Safety strap included to anchor the jacket to the valve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cordura 1000 Denier on the outside panel and 500 Denier on the inside. Cordura is more resistant to erosion caused by long-term friction and extends the life of the weldings, as they are harder than Nylon. This is especially important for dive centers where the jackets are often inflated to their maximum capacity

 

 

 

Waist strap independent of the air bladder and cummerbund. This means the strap can be tightened while the jacket is deflated without constricting the diver’s stomach when the jacket is inflated
