BCD Cressi SOLID
The Solid BCD is a fantastic Jacket style BCD that provides plenty of lift. This durable BCD has two zippered pockets and multiple D-rings for storage and attachment of accessory items with two 1″ (25 mm) technopolymer D-rings on the pockets. 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. If used at dive facilities a size indicator is highly visible on the right shoulder.
BCD adjustable sternum strap along with both 2″ (50 mm) torso adjustment straps and waist strap are all equipped with squeeze-style side-release buckles for easy donning and doffing. The light-weight 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. BCD is built to last made from 500D Cordura (exterior part) and 420D nylon (interior). The Cressi Solid BCD come with a 3/8″ threaded quick-disconnect low-pressure hose and owner’s manual.
Cressi Solid BCD Features:
- Light-Weight Rigid Back Support for Proper Cylinder Stability
- Fully Padded Back Plate for Comfort
- Construction: 500D Cordura (exterior part) and 420D Nylon (interior)
- Ridged Backpack Equipped w/Grab Handle for Easy Transport and Gear Donning Assist
Lean backpack with reduced thickness to the maximum to lighten it. Very resistant and semi-flexible material. Shock absorber in thermoplastic rubber for better fixing of the tank. It is possible to use double tank strap. Includes safety strap for fastening the bcd to the tank valve.
Reinforcement in the neck to avoid possible tears due to falls of tanks when the bcd and regulator are mounted.
Cordura 500 Denier. Cordura provides greater resistance to erosion due to long-term friction and prolong the duration of the thermo welding as it is harder than Nylon. This feature is especially important in diving centers where the inflating of the bcd is repetitive and frequent up to the limit of its capacity.

Regulator Cressi AC2 XS2 Regulator
AC2/XS2 is the most inexpensive regulator in the Cressi range.
The Cressi AC2 piston 1st stage comes with the traditional XS2 2nd stage
Constantly reviewed over the years, this regulator has lots of admirers in the world due to the fact that it is extremely simple and strong, features that make it easy to use and result in low-cost maintenance.
1st STAGE AC2:
Simple piston 1st stage, a “work mule” that is affordable, simple, reliable and robust, suitable for intense use. This first stage is
appreciated by dive centers and professional companies who consider it to be a very rentable tool, due to its low cost and practically nonexistent need for maintenance, as well as a surprising level of performance.
Conical filter.
One 7/16” high pressure port (HP) and four 3/8” low pressure ports (LP).
Complete maintenance kit which includes very affordable spare parts. Weight: Int: 615 g / DIN 480 g
TECHNICAL FEATURES 1ST STAGE

2ND STAGE:
The body of the 2nd stage is traditionally sized, made from hi-tech polymers and with a lateral valve downstream system with adjustable orifice, simple and extremely reliable.
The 2nd stage comes with a a flow deviator that acts on the Venturi effect, with dive/pre-dive function.
In any case, performance levels are high, and it is suitable for any kind of dive. XS2 comes with the traditional Cressi AC2 piston model.
This is a non-balanced first stage with such high performance that it can be compared to lots of excellent balanced models.
The small number of components, the low weight and the excellent materials make it the strongest Cressi first stages, and the most steadfast to maltreatment, a real “working horse” amongst regulators.

Console AmScuD XP2
All AmScuD instruments give a very accurate, clear visibility readings and are made from the best quality materials.
As such, we stand behind our products to give the utmost user experience.
Learning from our over 18 years in the industry, we have sucesfully established both design and materials that is a balanced of functionality, excellent robustness while maintaining a certain cosmetic estathic.
Did we tell you that our gauges are 100% Made in Italy? And it is backed by a full 1-year warranty.
The AmScuD submersible pressure gauge combined with depth gauge and compass, with an internal Bourdon pressure measuring mechanism, gives you clear information on the gas contents of your cylinder.
Dial range is stated in metric standard (BAR) from zero to 400 Bar while the depth gauge will show a METER unit with 1 meter increments.
Dial face is designed with ultra-clarity in mind by being uncluttered, with large black figures on a luminous background giving a long phosphorescent effect. We also include color-indicator for a better idea of what states you are in.
This makes viewing as easy as possible, even in poor visibility conditions.
- Our gauge case is made from nickel plated brass
- The dial window is made of highly shock resistant material (anti-splinter polycarbonate). 400 BAR/5,800 PSI dial gauge for your mission critical applications.
- Elasto-Polimer housing to ensure reliability while maintaining its function and esthathics.
- Over-pressure capsule fitted in the back of the module to prevent the screen from exploding in the unlikely event of the internal mechanism failing.
- Our exclusive Dual-Recoil® system located both in depth and pressure gauge. Unlike other gauges in the market, which gauge will fail in case of internal coil is failing, our gauges are designed to have a backup coil.
- NITROX compatible with Oxygen Cleaned environment, Viton O-Rings on all parts (swivel + HP port) and Christo-Lube lubricant.
- 30% longer phosphorecent effect.
- Color coded indicator with 10-bar increments (pressure) and 1-meter increments (depth)
- Improved swivel umberella design with chanelled o-ring gutter.
- 7/16″ HP port connection.
- We designed an angle for the gauge so it is easy to view while maintaining its shape for durability (in case of drop/shock).
