The HYDROS PRO is a true breakthrough in dive comfort and convenience. The moldable Monprene®, adjustable fit and multi-attachment points combine to make this the most customizable and comfortable BC ever. Winner of the 2016 Red Dot award for product design, the HYDROS PRO is an incredible feat of SCUBAPRO engineering, built for anyone who loves to dive.
Interchangeable straps, a packable design and an included backpack with room for your entire dive kit make the HYDROS PRO perfect for any destination and any dive.
Product Highlights:
Durable
Monprene® construction means ultra durability. The HYDROS PRO also stands up to UV, chemicals, and abrasion -- without showing typical signs of wear. And a modular construction makes repairs -- even from remote locations -- a snap. It's a BC for life.
The Perfect Fit
When you are wearing the HYDROS PRO, you won't even know it's there. The HYDROS PRO molds to your specific body shape, and has been designed with body grip gel, providing extreme comfort and stability. Near-Zero inherent buoyancy means less lead. And, thanks to a back inflation, smart air system you can dive in any position.
2-in-1 BC
The HYDROS PRO includes both the Trav-Tek straps and a fully integrated weight system. So, with a quick switch of clips, you can transform the HYDROS PRO from a harness travel BC to an integrated weight BC. Now you only need one BC for both local diving and travel.
Customize and Accessorize
Easily add, remove, or replace weight systems, bungees, D-rings, accessories and pockets to make theHYDROS PRO truly your own. With a wide range of mountable accessories and kits, your options are endless -- and can quickly be changed based upon the dive and conditions.
Travel Friendly
The HYDROS PRO goes everywhere with you. Instant dry, lightweight and compact, with a unique smart-pack design, the HYDROS PRO also comes with a customized backpack designed to fit your entire dive kit on your back.
Dive in Color
The HYDROS PRO comes in seven colors, perfectly matched to SCUBAPRO suits, masks and Seawing Novas. Separate color kits are also available so you can change up your dive style whenever you want.
Specialized Fit for Women
Smaller air bladder. Shorter inflator hose. Curved shoulder straps that fit perfectly. Experience the difference of diving with a more thoughtfully designed BC for women.

I got this bcd and used it 3 days ago for the first time. I have to say great stability, nice fit (little hard material whit only a swimming short) ofcourse their are a lot cheaper BCD’s available. But in my opinion it is an amazing bcd, a lot of extra features for attaching extra pockets, knives or lights. Every attachment does come with a price but my opinion. TOP OF THE LINE!!
Agreed, it is an expensive BCD but you get what you pay for the scubapro Hydros is a top end unit! :-)
Yes, great BCD. With the Air2 regulator and air-integration, I have become a minimalist for recreational diving.
Received my one today well worth it . Looking forward to blowing bubbles. Brilliant video, thank you for review.
Well done and worthwhile, mate!
Buying this BCD soon
Thank you !
Just bought this bad boy for my first jump in june, quite surprised at how light it is for a parachute
nice
How did you get on? .....
The lack of reply answers the question I think,must have been over weight
Turns out it’s not a parachute, had to take up scuba diving instead, I fucking hate water and fish
Yeah had to change a bulb on hubble…had an 18 hour space walk …the radio 1 channel my the walk fun and kept nasa chatterboxes quiet
Love my Hydros Pro. Great for travel, the backpack also fits my regulator, boots, and mask. I have the Scubapro Air2 on the BCD hose, made my primary hose a little longer and with flexi hose.
Whats the weight of the bcd may i know
@@introinnba 7.8 lbs.
@@kennethjmcarthur2428 thank you very much
No pockets for smb/mask?
Can you do a review of the Hydros Air 2?
Love mine. My primary hose is a little longer and with flexi hose as I use it as the octo and use the Air2 for me if my buddy needs gas. Some say its not a good idea because it is too awkward to ascend especially with a computer on your left wrist, but not true. The HydrosPro has 4 dump valves. one is on my right shoulder. Works perfect and allows minimal equipment for recreational dives.
I have been diving on the Knighthawk for probably 15 years at least I never thought I would want another bcd. This has changed my mind, how does the Hydros compare to the Knighthawk in the water?
Diver 77 the hydros is allot more comfortable and allot more versatile. :-)
@@TheScubaProfessionals I feel like im cheating on my wife lol but i think you sold me thanks.
Is the bladder durable?
Hi, yes the Bladder is made of the highest grade materials! and come with ScubaPro guarantee and warranty.
@@kevincook240 thank you so much for the info
It so versatile that all the parts can be changed. But there is no way to change it so it can accept doubles. Bummer.
No offense but technology hasn't changed in 20 years. Look at those d rings ooooo ahhhhh?!?
Is this wing type or jacket type?
This is a back inflate wing style BCD
@@TheScubaProfessionals For recreational diving, what u could suggest me to buy whether the back inflate wing bcd with integrated weight or back inflate wing bcd without integrated weight attached to it?
