Pockets for carrying equipment attached to the BCD harness — specifically an additional general-purpose pocket and two variants of a surface marker buoy (SMB) pocket. These pockets attach to the backplate or harness webbing and provide dedicated stowage for items that would otherwise be clipped loose on a D-ring.
Pocket Options
The Additional pocket (230100/B,R) is a general-use cargo pocket in black or red that attaches to the lower harness webbing or backplate at the hip position. It provides enclosed stowage for small items — lift bags, slates, spare masks — that the diver wants secured rather than clipped on a D-ring. The zipper closure keeps contents retained even if the diver is inverted. The Pocket for buoy (240350) and Pocket for buoy (230302) (240351) are purpose-built SMB stowage pockets — the two variants differ in their attachment geometry, designed to fit different backplate configurations (240350 attaches via the backplate lower bolts; 240351 attaches via the 230302 plate format). Both keep an inflated-when-needed SMB rolled and secured until the diver is ready to deploy it at the end of a dive.
What to Look For
- SMB pocket compatibility — verify which pocket variant fits your backplate attachment configuration before ordering. The 240350 and 240351 differ in their mounting hardware and are not interchangeable across all plate types.
- Pocket position vs. trim — a loaded hip pocket adds weight at the side of the diver’s body. Place it symmetrically if using two pockets, or accept and compensate for the slight lateral trim effect of a loaded single pocket.
- SMB size compatibility — the buoy pockets are sized for standard 1.5–2m tube SMBs in rolled form. Verify that your SMB fits within the pocket with the oral inflation tube routed accessibly.
