Scubapro Glide-X BCD
A high-end, light weight, excellent lift capacity adjustable BC with a unique wrap-around bladder. The wrap around air cell retains its cradle-like shape, even when fully inflated, staying close and contoured to the body, giving more comfort and control New hip-indentation styling allows freer movement and weight distribution.
Combined with the luxurious plush padded back pack and neoprene neck protection, Glide-X is the definition of comfort for both men and women. The elasticized cummerbund also makes Glide X one of a kind: when your suit compresses as you descend, you don’t feel like the BC has gotten bigger. By tightening the cummerbund a bit before immersion you remain comfy on the surface, thanks to the elastic function, and your BC keeps its fit no matter what your depth.
Constructed with high frequency welded seams and Scubapro’s very sturdy and traditional sandwiched bladder. The air cell is firmly bolted between the back pack and the back plate. This is an extremely strong construction, preventing the tank from rolling on the diver’s back.
- Super Cinch Tank Band: Stainless steel cam action buckle system for easy adjustment and secure grip.
- Nylon Fabric is lightweight yet very resistant to punctures. Glide-X uses 420 Deniers Nylon construction ensuring lightweight wear, yet doesn’t compromise on durability.
- QR Front Weight Integration: Weight integrated pockets with wide, easy release buckles.
- Zipper Pockets: For safe and convenient accessory storage.
- 6 Stainless steel D-rings for optimized accessory attachment (4 large and 2 small).
- Back Trim Counter weight pockets for better balance, depending on the type of tank used.
- Fully Adjustable Cummerbund: Immediately adapts to different morphologies and suit thicknesses on the spot. And with a new elasticized feature, the BC doesn’t lose its fit when your suit compresses during descent.
- Knife Grommets allow the attachment of an emergency or utility knife, easily accessible in any situation.
- Padded Back Pack: Fast drying soft padding for ultimate comfort in and out of the water
- QR Rotating Shoulder Buckles: Improves fit and follows the divers movements and morphology

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!
