Cressi Scorpion BCD Size Chart
How to measure for your BCD
- Chest: measure around the torso just below the arms.
- Waist: measure between the hips and the base of the rib cage with the tape level.
- Check the fit with your usual exposure suit. Cressi advises allowing about 5 cm extra waist room for wetsuits thicker than 5 mm.

Cressi Scorpion BCD – Lightweight Back Inflation
Enjoy greater freedom of movement with the Cressi Scorpion BCD, a lightweight buoyancy compensator that combines rear inflation, a comfortable adjustable harness and integrated weights. Designed for recreational scuba diving and dive travel, it offers a supportive fit with less inflatable bulk around your chest and waist.
The rear-mounted air cell expands independently of the harness, helping the BCD maintain a comfortable fit as you adjust your buoyancy. Compression straps draw the air cell in as it deflates, keeping the profile compact and helping air escape efficiently.
An ultralight semi-rigid harness provides support without unnecessary weight, while the soft Air-Net lining adds cushioning and drains quickly after your dive. Adjustable lumbar pads and quick-release shoulder straps let you fine-tune the fit for comfortable days in the water.
Features and benefits
- Rear inflation for freedom of movement: Positions the air cell behind you, leaving your chest and waist less restricted as the BCD inflates.
- Lightweight, supportive harness: The semi-rigid structure helps stabilise your equipment while remaining flexible enough to fold for transport.
- Comfortable Air-Net lining: Soft, quick-draining padding cushions your back and makes the BCD comfortable to wear.
- Integrated Flat Lock Aid weight system: Securely holds removable weight pockets while keeping them accessible for release when required.
- Air cell compression straps: Help control the bladder’s volume, assist deflation and maintain a streamlined profile.
- Adjustable lumbar support: Side lumbar pads and adjustable waist straps allow a closer, more personalised fit.
- Quick-release shoulder buckles: Make putting on and removing the BCD easier, with adjustable 40 mm shoulder straps.
- Three dump valves: Provide air-release options at the inflator hose, right shoulder and lower right air cell.
- Practical accessory storage: Two zipped pockets and four aluminium D-rings keep essential dive accessories organised and within reach.
- Anatomical inflator: An ergonomically shaped inflator with a hose retainer provides convenient access to your buoyancy controls.
