Product Information
The Oceanic Photon Crotch Strap is a removable crotch strap accessory for Oceanic Photon BCDs that keeps the jacket from riding up during a dive and adds a D-ring for clipping off accessories. It is listed by Oceanic as one of the modular accessories for the Photon BC platform, and it carries SKU 08.2315.04.
Who it is for
This strap is for divers who own an Oceanic Photon BCD, including the Photon Pro, and want the jacket to stay put instead of sliding up the torso as the cylinder shifts or as weight is added. It suits divers who carry accessories and want an extra attachment point low on the harness, and because it installs and removes easily it is practical for travel setups where you may want to strip the BCD down for packing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which BCDs does the Oceanic Photon Crotch Strap fit?
It is made for the Oceanic Photon BCD platform and is listed as compatible with the Photon Pro. Oceanic names the crotch strap as one of the modular accessories for the Photon BC line, along with the interchangeable color kits, utility pocket, dive housing holster and TankTamer tank band.
What does a crotch strap actually do on a BCD?
It keeps the BCD from riding up on your torso during the dive. As the cylinder shifts or as you add weight, a jacket can creep upward and pull the shoulder straps into your neck. The Photon Crotch Strap holds the BCD down and maintains its position, which improves underwater control and comfort. Its D-ring also gives you an extra accessory attachment point.
Can I remove the crotch strap when I do not want it?
Yes. The Oceanic Photon Crotch Strap is easy to install and fully removable, so you can add it for dives where you want the extra stability and take it off for travel or for dives where you prefer a simpler setup. Because it is lightweight and portable, it is easy to pack with the BCD for dive travel.
