Product Information

The Scubapro Bella with AIR2 is a front-adjustable, jacket-style buoyancy compensator built specifically for women, combining a wraparound air bladder that holds its cradle-like shape even when fully inflated with a Y-Fit shoulder design and an AIR2 inflator that doubles as an alternate air source second stage. It is made of 420 denier nylon over a plastic back plate, carries an integrated weight system, and is offered in sizes XS through XL.

Who it is for

This BCD is designed and sized for female divers who want a jacket-style air cell that feels stable and upright at the surface and settled at depth. The Y-Fit shoulders with a stainless steel triangular ring balance the load across the chest instead of pulling straight down, and the soft neoprene neck with padded backpack suits long days of recreational diving, travel trips, and training. Because the AIR2 combines the backup regulator second stage with the BCD inflator, it also appeals to divers who want to simplify the left side of their hose routing.

Key details

  • 420 denier nylon shell, plastic back plate, 6 stainless steel D-rings (four large pre-bent plus two smaller)
  • Lift capacity by size: 29.2 lb (S), 31.5 lb (M), 33.7 lb (XL)
  • Weight: 9.15 lb (S), 9.26 lb (M), 9.66 lb (XL)
  • Two large zippered cargo pockets with metal grommets for knife attachment, plus two rear trim pockets
  • Quick-release integrated weight pouches with a high-security flat buckle
  • Adjustable cummerbund to compensate for suit compression and Super Cinch tank buckle for tank security
  • Length 23.62 in (sizes M and XL)

Compatibility and sizing

Sizes run XS (22.258.150), S (22.258.250), M (22.258.350), L (22.258.450), and XL (22.258.550). Lift grows with size, so pick the size that fits your torso rather than chasing lift numbers. The optional Scubapro BCD Carry Bag is listed as an accessory.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a scuba BCD fit?

A BCD should fit snugly enough that it does not ride up toward your ears when inflated, while still letting you breathe fully. Fasten the waist and cummerbund first, then adjust the shoulder straps so the tank sits close to your back and the shoulders cannot slide off. With the BCD fully inflated at the surface you should still be able to take a deep, comfortable breath; if it squeezes your chest, loosen it or move up a size.

How do I rinse and care for a BCD after diving?

Rinse the outside in fresh water and also flush the inside of the bladder, because salt water gets in through the inflator and dump valves. Fill the bladder roughly a third full of fresh water through the oral inflator, slosh it around, then drain it out through the inflator and each dump valve. Hang it to dry out of direct sunlight and store it partially inflated so the bladder walls do not stick together.

Should I use integrated weights or a weight belt?

Integrated weight pockets carry the lead in the BCD itself, which many divers find more comfortable and easier on the hips, while a weight belt keeps the weight independent of your BCD. Either way, you must be able to release your ditchable weight quickly with one hand, and your buddy should know how your system releases. Non-ditchable trim pockets are useful for balance but should never hold weight you might need to drop.

How do I pack a BCD for travel?

Make sure the BCD is completely dry inside and out before packing so it does not mildew in transit. Remove all weights, deflate it fully, and fold or roll it around softer items such as a wetsuit to cushion the inflator and valves. Avoid hard creases in the air cell, and unpack and air it out as soon as you arrive.

When does a BCD need to be serviced?

Follow the service interval in the manufacturer's manual, which is commonly an annual inspection alongside the rest of your life-support gear. Have the inflator, dump valves, and bladder checked any time the inflator sticks, free-flows, feels rough, or the BCD holds air poorly. Between services, confirm that it inflates and deflates properly as part of every pre-dive check.

What is the difference between a jacket-style and a back-inflate BCD?

A jacket-style BCD holds air in panels that wrap around your sides as well as your back, while a back-inflate BCD keeps the entire air cell behind you. Jacket styles tend to feel very stable and upright at the surface, and back-inflate styles keep the chest clear and are often preferred for horizontal trim underwater. Neither is objectively better, so treat it as a fit and preference decision and try both if you can.

Will my BCD fit any scuba tank?

Most recreational BCDs use an adjustable cam band sized for common single-cylinder diameters, so standard aluminum and steel tanks generally work. Re-check the band tension after the first wetting, because webbing can relax slightly and let the tank shift. If you dive doubles or unusual cylinder diameters, confirm compatibility with the manufacturer before assuming it will hold.

What does the AIR2 version of the Bella BCD add?

The AIR2 combines two jobs in one unit: it is the BCD's power inflator and also a backup regulator second stage you can breathe from. That means your alternate air source lives on the BCD's corrugated hose instead of as a separate octopus on the right side. The Bella is also published in a separate BPI (Balanced Power Inflator) version if you prefer a standard inflator.

How much lift does the Scubapro Bella with AIR2 provide?

Lift varies by size. Scubapro publishes 29.2 lb for the small, 31.5 lb for the medium, and 33.7 lb for the extra large. Dry weight runs from 9.15 lb (S) to 9.66 lb (XL). Choose the size that fits your torso correctly rather than selecting a larger size for extra lift, since fit determines how the wraparound bladder cradles you.

What makes the Bella different from a unisex BCD?

The Bella is designed and sized for women. Its Y-Fit shoulder design uses a stainless steel triangular ring that balances the load at the center of the Y rather than pulling straight down on the chest. The soft neoprene neck and padded backpack add comfort for extended wear. The wraparound air bladder keeps a cradle-like shape even fully inflated, which helps hold a stable position at the surface and at depth.

Where are the weights and storage on the Bella BCD?

The Bella uses an integrated weight system with quick-release weight pouches secured by a high-security flat buckle, so ditchable lead rides in the BCD rather than on a belt. Storage includes two large zippered cargo pockets with metal grommets for knife attachment, plus two rear trim pockets that let you balance your body position in the water.
