Oceanic Photon PRO BCD Men’s Features
Designed for Pros
Engineered for serious divers who regularly dive locally, the Photon Pro provides higher lift capacity, rugged durability, and customizable fit. It’s the go-to platform for cold-water diving, carrying more weight comfortably, and adapting to any dive conditions.
Quick Tank Swapping
The TankTamer Tank Band makes tank changes between dives fast, and transitions between steel and aluminum cylinders effortless.
Modularity Reimagined
Designed to evolve with the diver, the Photon system allows you to add color kits, accessory pockets, and even customize weight systems, no more compromises.
Infinite Adjustment
Adjustment and positioning for a perfect personal fit. Independent harness positioning lets you fine-tune the feel and fit for your shoulders, hips, and back.
Low Profile, Streamlined Performance
Photon’s compact back-inflation wing and lightweight backplate design makes packing a breeze, reduces drag underwater, and effortlessly improves horizontal trim underwater.
Serviceable
The Photon ecosystem includes shared components and accessories that are interchangeable which allows easy and lower cost service if needed in the future.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Back-inflation wing design — Low profile and less bulk for a smooth profile and improved hydrodynamics in the water. Also makes the BC easier to fit into luggage.
- Ergonomic harness and waist belt (Men’s and Women’s fit) — Shoulder straps contoured for a gender-specific fit, with comfort lumbar support for long dives.
- A.P.S “Adjustable Positioning System” — Choose the shoulder connection to waist setting to fine tune the right fit for you.
- Modular component interface — Shared base components with your Photon family let you add or swap modules (pockets, clips, accessories) as needed.
- Quick-release weight system — QLR4 is secure, easy to operate; and integrates cleanly with the Photon BC profile.
- Integrated modular attachment system — Easily detachable and adjustable components such as shoulders and weight pockets are adaptable to the shared rigid Photon frame — no need to buy totally separate gear.
- Durable materials & construction — Heavy-duty 420D nylon, Welded seam technology, and corrosion-resistant metal hardware built for the long haul.
- Increased lift capacity — Designed to handle heavier tanks and gear, so you stay effortlessly buoyant and balanced.
- Efficient inflator design — A compact, low-profile, no-fuss inflator with intuitive controls ensures easy inflation/deflation without bulk. Made to be replaced when service is needed.
ACCESSORIES & ADD-ONS
Here are popular add-ons designed specifically for the Photon BC to complement and leverage its modular design:
- Utility Pocket — A low-volume pocket that mounts to any Photon, for storing small items (slate, light, etc.)
- Dive Housing Holster — Detachable pouch that supports the Oceanic Dive Housing in a way that is easily removeable and without adding significant weight.
- Color Kits — Accent kits that can be added to the Photon Pro or Air, in 5 available color options: Aqua, Black, Blue, Pink, and White. Includes shoulder epaulette, hose retainers, webbing retainers, zipper pulls, and matching wing bungee to make the Photon visually standout.
- TankTamer Quick Release tank band — Designed to keep the Photon BC stable and secure to your body when in the water. Comes standard on Pro models.
SIZING WALK-THROUGH
- Each Photon BC has infinite size adjustments, which allows you to easily tailor the BC to your exact body shape. This is especially helpful when changing from wetsuit to drysuit or vice versa.
- Adjustable Shoulder and Waist: Shoulders and waist feature infinite adjustment from XS to XXL for men, and XS to LG for women.
- Gender Cut Differences: The men’s and women’s shoulders are contoured specifically with a shoulder length and shoulder angle that better matches a men’s or women’s anatomical geometry — but all Photon BC’s use the same core frame, so accessories are fully cross-compatible.
