Seac Pro 2000HD BCD
The new Pro 2000, the iconic model responsible for Seac’s BCD success, is enhanced with renewed details and functions starting right from the bladder inflation system, which remains one of its main and most distinctive.
This model is equipped with a 3D wedge positioned differently than the previous one to provide thrust from below to optimise trim and buoyancy during the dive and better support the weight of the cylinder with less fatigue for your back. In addition to this, Seac have revisited the classic Frame to Back, the system of anchoring the shoulder straps to the back that make the behaviour of the bladder completely independent.
The new AHS (Adjustment Harness System) emphasises this characteristic even more and improves it, especially in terms of convenience and functionality. The same objective was achieved by making a change to the seat of the weight pockets with the Q&S system, which was pre-inclined and oriented in order to facilitate extraction and insertion of the weight that, starting from size L, can be up to 6 kg per pocket.
Much attention was also paid to the choice of materials and the design of the details: pockets and shoulder straps made of Cordura 1000 for maximum strength, eyelets for inserting the knife, hidden backup pocket, Trim Weight Pocket positioned on the cylinder retaining strap, pre-shaped back cover with protective appendix for the back Tank Protection Pad.
- RRP: £399.00
- Available October 2016

Oyster Diving have recently been given exclusive access to offer scuba diving courses and fun dives at Mercers Lake, a beautiful lake near M25/Gatwick in the UK.
Oyster have just launched their own dive boat ‘The Blue Pear’ to explore various parts of the lake. Divers can glide around the underwater woodland, see lots of fish and decent visibility. Out of the water divers set up in the purpose built kitting up area, unwind in a warm shower, and off-gas in the café & licensed bar.
To celebrate the start of the summer season, AquaSports and Oyster Diving have teamed up to host a Star Wars-themed open day on the 4th May.
Guests will be able to enjoy discounted tasters of various watersports including Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), Canoeing and Sailing. Oyster Diving will be joined by Apeks and possibly other dive manufacturers to display their latest products. Demo gear will be available for qualified divers and Oyster’s sales support team will be on hand for customers with any questions.
Divers wishing to get in the water will need to book in via Oyster Diving’s website where you can also choose to hire any equipment. Non-divers and well behaved dogs are very welcome!
As well as the watersports there will also be music, food and a licensed bar. The fun starts at 10am and finishes around 4.30pm.
Please come along, wear your finest Stormtrooper or Princess Leia outfit and enjoy the fun!

Dive Rite was founded in 1984 by technical divers and cave explorers with the goal to make the very best scuba diving equipment available. Gear that can be trusted on the most extreme dives and exceed expectations in any environment: reef, wreck, cave, or quarry.
The Nomad Ray is the product of years of design, development, field testing, and feedback from some of the world’s leading sidemount divers and instructors.
The Nomad Ray is available in black, blue, OD green, pink, or red. If you happen to find yourself in a tight spot, the Ray’s abrasion-resistant “skid plate” will have your back: providing wear protection exactly where it’s needed the most. SuperFabric® is a fast drying, highly durable, and slash-resistant material. The Nomad Ray Sidemount System is ready to perform in the toughest diving environments.
The Nomad Ray can be easily adjusted to comfortably fit all body types. The independently adjustable harness design can be quickly set up for any diver. Shoulder and waist webbing can be replaced independently if damaged or trimmed too short. The Nomad Ray uses a fast, tool-free bungee length adjustment system. Simply pull to the desired length, tie a single overhand knot, and tuck the excess into the integrated sleeve. A quick-adjust belly band with a custom moulded bungee hook keeps the wing wrapped snugly around the diver’s body.
A zipper on the inside of the Nomad Ray wing allows for access to three integrated weight pockets capable of holding up to five pounds of each of hard or soft weight.
