The Cressi Start Pro is a durable, weight-integrated BCD designed for beginners, dive schools and rental programmes.
Built for frequent use, it features a tough 500-denier Cordura exterior and 420-denier nylon interior for durability in demanding environments. The Start Pro’s large wings deliver ample lift, while the independent waist strap ensures unrestricted comfort, even when fully inflated.
The Fixed Gravity Pocket system secures weights in vertical pockets with a buckle. When released, weights drop out and the pocket remains attached - an effective alternative to ditchable pouches.
A lightweight backplate with an integrated carry handle allows easy transport of a fully set-up rig without stressing the straps. A rubber cylinder grip and tank valve strap provide excellent stability on the surface and underwater.
Practical features include two large zippered pockets, six durable plastic D-rings for accessories and three relief valves for precise buoyancy control. The non-return upper dump valve minimises water entry into the bladder, extending its lifespan.
A size patch on the shoulder ensures quick identification, making it easy for dive centre staff to find the correct fit quickly.
Practical, reliable, and user-friendly, the Cressi Start Pro is a top choice for dive professionals and new divers alike.
