Explorer Kids BCD – Comfortable, Secure & Perfect Fit for Young Divers The Explorer BCD is specially designed for young divers aged 8 to 12, offering a secure, comfortable fit that helps build confidence in the water. Unlike standard adult BCDs, the shorter backplate is tailored for smaller body frames, ensuring better balance, trim, and overall control during the dive. Built with durability and practicality in mind, this BCD features two easy-access pockets with VELCRO® closures, allowing young divers to safely store small accessories. Dedicated holders for an octopus regulator and pressure gauge keep equipment neatly positioned and easy to reach — an important safety feature for beginner divers. To further improve comfort and trim, optional rear weight pockets can be added to the tank strap, helping distribute weight more evenly without overloading the front. The adjustable system allows one size to comfortably fit a wide range of children, making it a practical long-term investment for growing divers.
