Aqua Lung Axiom BCD

When it comes to serious recreational diving, your BCD needs to work as hard as you do. The Aqua Lung Axiom BCD is a full-featured jacket-style BCD built for divers who demand comfort, organisation and reliable performance across a wide range of dive conditions. Designed around Aqua Lung's Wrapture™ Harness System with patented swivel shoulder buckles and an ultra-thin back plate, it distributes cylinder weight to the hips when out of the water and prevents the vest from riding up on the surface, keeping you comfortable and correctly positioned throughout your dive. Available in sizes XS through to 2XL, the Axiom covers a broad range of body types and delivers lift capacity ranging from 130 N in the smaller sizes up to 230 N in the 2XL, making it suitable for cold-water drysuits and heavier kit configurations. Aqua Lung Axiom BCD Key Features Wrapture™ Harness System: Patented swivel shoulder buckles and an ultra-thin back plate work together to transfer cylinder weight to the hips when out of the water and prevent the BCD from riding up at the surface, improving both comfort and trim in the water. SureLock II Mechanical Weight Release System: A patented single-pull ditchable weight system where weights are inserted until an audible click confirms secure engagement. Ditchable weight capacity is 9 kg (XS–ML) and 13.5 kg (L–2XL), with non-ditchable integrated weight capacity of 13.5 kg across all sizes, giving you substantial ballast flexibility. Power Line Inflator: One of the highest air-fill rates available in a BCD inflator, with a cable-activated rapid exhaust at the top. The unit is environmentally sealed for reduced maintenance requirements and features integrated hose clips that attach directly to the LP hose for a clean, streamlined profile. Lift Volume: Size-specific lift capacity ensures appropriate buoyancy across the range: XS and S at 130 N (31 lb), M at 160 N (36 lb), ML at 180 N (41 lb), L at 190 N (44 lb), XL at 200 N (47 lb), and 2XL at 230 N (50 lb). Bladder Retraction System: Automatically pulls in the sides of the bladder upon deflation to maintain a streamlined, low-drag profile, improving underwater trim and reducing resistance. Proprietary flat eValve Exhaust Valves and 2 Dump Valves: Two dump valves with flat eValve design further reduce drag and provide reliable, accessible venting options from multiple positions in the water. GripLock™ Tank Band: Includes a finger-saver feature and macro presets for consistent, secure cylinder positioning. Speeds up tank attachment and detachment without compromising a firm hold. D-Ring Configuration: 5 stainless steel D-rings and 2 plastic D-rings distributed across the BCD for attaching accessories, SMBs, torches and other dive equipment. Pockets and Organisation: 2 large zippered utility pockets with a scooped octo pocket to keep the octopus streamlined and within easy reach. A knife attachment point is positioned on the left lobe for quick access, and an optional instrument console can be routed behind the left pocket and out through a scooped opening on the front of the lobe. Fit and Adjustability: Adjustable chest and torso straps allow for a dialled-in, secure fit across the full size range (XS through 2XL). A rolled neck collar adds comfort during extended dives. The Aqua Lung Axiom is a well-rounded, performance-oriented BCD that suits divers looking for a reliable jacket-style vest without sacrificing streamlining or feature set. From the proven SureL
