Xs scuba companion bc – ultra-compact back inflation travel bc

Description

The XS Scuba Companion BC is an ultra-compact back-inflation travel BC designed for divers who want lightweight performance without sacrificing comfort, durability, or functionality. Built by combining a compact wing system with the versatile Pony Pac harness platform, the Companion BC delivers streamlined buoyancy control in a travel-friendly package that weighs only 5 lbs. (2.3 kg)—approximately 40% lighter than traditional BCs.

Its minimalist back-inflation design keeps the diver streamlined underwater while providing 30 lbs. (13.6 kg) of lift, making it an excellent choice for recreational travel diving, warm water diving, and lightweight local setups.

The Companion BC features a comfortable and highly adjustable harness system with oversized thumb loops, adjustable torso straps, and a two-way adjustable sternum strap for easy fit customization. The cummerbund-style waist closure with hook-and-loop fastening allows for fast donning and doffing while maintaining a secure fit.

Buoyancy control is managed through the reliable XS Scuba Micro Inflator, which utilizes a durable drift pin design for increased longevity and reliability compared to traditional Schrader valve systems. A cable-activated shoulder pull-dump valve and rear lower-right dump valve provide efficient air management and buoyancy control.

Constructed from rugged materials, the Companion BC features:

• Durable 1680D nylon outer shell
• 600D polyester harness
• Comfortable suede cloth back pad
• RF welded TPU bladder for long-term reliability

The removable air cell design also adds versatility for divers wanting modular setup options.
