Buddy Commando BCD Review (Nearly 30 Years Without Failure)

By Russell BowyerPosted in Learn to Scuba Dive, Recommended GearTagged Buddy commando BCD review, Buddy commando Profile2 Comments

Buddy Commando Profile BCD that has lasted for nearly 30 years without breakage or failure. It was only in the 29th year when diving in Barbados that the shoulder clips broke. This happened when donning the BCD which was attached to a 15 litre dive tank.

I’m the diver behind Scuba Diving Earth. My first dive was on the Great Barrier Reef in 1989 and since then I’ve dived hundreds of times around the world. I’m a BSAC Dive Leader, have been a BSAC diver trainer and the Diving Officer of a Saffron Walden BSAC Club. I live in the UK near to the New Forest in Hampshire with my lovely wife Jo. I enjoy scuba diving around the world, but now mostly in the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean. I have a love of diving where I can see sharks. My favourite so far was seeing Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef in Australia.
