Size	Height (cm)	Weight (kg)	Chest (cm)	Waist (cm)
XS-S	152.4-170	45-70.3	66-102	71-96.5

Fine-tune your fit with the Photon Pro’s modular frame and Adjustable Positioning System. The shoulder-to-waist connection can be positioned independently, helping you settle the BCD around your torso, while integrated weight storage and stainless steel hardware suit a well-equipped recreational setup.

Features and benefits

Harness support. Contoured shoulder straps and a waist belt fit around the modular Photon frame, with lumbar support cushioning your lower back. Adjust the shoulder and waist sections independently to suit your torso and exposure suit.
Independent positioning. The shoulder-to-waist connection can be adjusted to improve how the harness sits around your torso.
Accessible weight handling. The QLR4 quick release arrangement keeps removable ballast in dedicated pockets, reducing reliance on a separate weight belt. Check the retention mechanism and keep its release accessible.
Optional utility storage. Compatible utility pockets can be added where needed, letting you choose storage for your actual accessories while keeping the basic setup uncluttered.
Durable construction. Construction uses 420D UV-resistant nylon and 3D mesh. The fabric protects the buoyancy structure from everyday contact with equipment; rinse it after use and inspect high-wear areas regularly.

Fit and configuration

Select the appropriate size or harness adjustment for your body and exposure suit. Fit details: A.P.S. (Adjustable Positioning System) with adjustable shoulder-to-waist connection and independent harness positioning. 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.

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 Oceanic 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.
