The Cressi Start is a no-nonsense BCD designed around the needs of dive centres, while also offering a reliable and affordable option for new divers investing in their first BCD.
Built with comfort and functionality in mind, the Start features an exceptionally tough 1000-denier Cordura exterior paired with a 500-denier interior. Cordura’s abrasion-resistant qualities make it perfect for dive centre BCDs, which are used daily and often inflated to maximum capacity.
The waist strap is independent of the air bladder, preventing constriction during inflation, and the chest strap keeps shoulder straps securely in place. The lightweight, compact, semi-rigid backplate features an integrated carry handle, making it easy to move around once the cylinder and regulators are connected - ideal for instructors who may be handling a lot of student equipment.
Other practical design features include high-capacity zippered pockets and integrated octopus and gauge holders to keep your equipment streamlined, organised and within easy reach. For added convenience, size markings on the right shoulder pad allow dive centre staff to identify the correct size quickly.
With its affordable price point and durable design, the Cressi Start is an excellent choice for dive schools and beginner divers.
