Product Information

The Hollis L.T.S. (Light Travel System) is a weight-integrated, back-inflation BCD built for traveling divers who want a compact single-tank rig without a modular harness. It delivers 30 lb (13.6 kg) of lift, weighs 6.4 lbs (2.9 kg), and works with a single AL80 or steel 85 tank.

Who it is for

This BCD suits warm-water travel divers and resort divers who want to keep luggage weight down without giving up a proper back-inflate air cell. The simple, non-modular design stows easily in a dive bag, and chest and hip D-rings give you a place to clip a sling bottle, light, or other accessories for single-tank recreational dives.

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.

How much lift does the Hollis L.T.S. BCD provide and what tanks does it fit?

The Hollis L.T.S. provides up to 30 lb (13.6 kg) of lift, which is enough for a single AL80 or steel 85 tank. Its non-modular, weight-integrated back-inflate design is built for single-cylinder recreational diving rather than doubles or technical configurations, which keeps the package compact for travel.

How do I choose the right size for the Hollis L.T.S. BCD?

Hollis sizes the L.T.S. by height, weight, chest, and waist measurements across four sizes: SM, MD, LG, and XL. For example, Medium fits divers 5'7" to 5'11" tall, 150 to 185 lb, with a 34 to 44 inch chest and 32 to 40 inch waist. Match your own measurements to the closest range, and call us if you fall between two sizes.

How much does the Hollis L.T.S. BCD weigh?

The Hollis L.T.S. weighs 6.4 lbs (2.9 kg), which is part of why it is marketed as a light travel system for divers packing light for warm-water trips. This unit weight is for the BCD itself and does not include the tank or any added accessories clipped to the D-rings.

What warranty comes with the Hollis L.T.S. BCD?

The Hollis L.T.S. is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty. The Hollis L.T.S. is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.
