Aqualung Rogue BC – Custom Builder 

Aqualung Rogue BC – Custom Builder 

Build your fit around the Rogue’s modular shoulder, waist and back components. Its ModLock system allows these sections to be selected independently, making it particularly useful when your ideal shoulder and waist sizes do not match a conventional one-piece BCD.

This package combines the required components listed below, with the available options allowing you to choose the final configuration.

Features and benefits

• Modular sizing. The ModLock connections join separately sized shoulder, waist and back sections. Matching these components to your body can give you a more precise fit and lets compatible sections be changed independently.
• Configurable weight storage. SureLock II pockets optional. Add the listed weight system if it suits your ballast arrangement. Choosing compatible pockets lets you position ballast around the complete system and keep release controls accessible.
• GripLock cylinder attachment. The GripLock buckle separates cylinder-size adjustment from closing the band, making repeat cylinder changes more straightforward once the band is set correctly.

Fit and configuration

Select the appropriate size or harness adjustment for your body and exposure suit. Fit details: 27 shoulder/waist/back size combinations. A dive knife and optional accessories shown in photographs are not included. Choose enough lift for your complete cylinder and equipment configuration. Lift capacity, ballast-pocket capacity and the BCD’s dry weight describe different things; use the size-specific values in Technical Specs when comparing options.

Package components

• 1 × Aqualung Rogue Back Assembly

The list shows the required components at the displayed default quantities. Your selected sizes, connections, quantities and optional extras determine the final package.

Care, rinsing and storage

After every dive, rinse the BCD, harness, buckles and accessible fittings with fresh water, paying attention to salt and sand around the inflator, dump valves and weight-pocket releases. Follow the Aqualung manual’s procedure for the fitted inflation system, including keeping the power inflator pressurised where specified.

Dive Gear Australia recommends Gear Aid Revivex BC Cleaner 10 oz for cleaning the outer surfaces and internal air cell. It helps remove salt, chlorine and residue while conditioning suitable rubber and plastic parts. Use the dilution on the cleaner’s label and follow the equipment manual.

Rinse the air cell internally through the opening specified in the manual, using fresh water and the recommended cleaner dilution when needed. Gently rotate the equipment to reach the inside surfaces, drain through the specified outlet, then rinse until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly before drying.

Allow the BCD to dry in the shade, then store it slightly inflated in a cool, dry place without tight folds or heavy gear on top. Before diving, check that it holds air and that inflation controls, dump valves, straps and weight releases work correctly. Follow the manufacturer’s service schedule and have leaks, sticking controls or damage checked by an authorised technician.
