The Passport is the lightest in the range of SeaQuest's BCs and features a built-in storage bag for transportation. This useful integrated-mesh carrying bag folds into the lower backpad to provide lumbar support when diving. It is weight integrated with a credible payload of up to 9kg, although when carrying this amount of lead it significantly reduces the size of the two otherwise generous zippered utility pockets. Four plastic D-rings give just enough attachment points for accessories, while the two grommets on the left-hand pocket allow attachment of a knife directly to the BC. There is the option of a chest strap for those who prefer to wear the shoulder straps pulled closer together, but we didn't feel this was required. Quite simply, a superb BC which comes in at under 2.5kg when the weight-integrated pockets are removed.

Suitable for

all warm-water overseas destinations where weight integration is a particular requirement
