Scubapro Hydros Pro with Air2 - Men's BCD
The Scubapro Hydros Pro with Air2 combines modular customization, exceptional comfort, and streamlined convenience in one revolutionary BCD. This men's version in classic black features Scubapro's innovative Monprene® gel construction—neutrally buoyant, quick-drying, and virtually indestructible. Add the integrated Air2 inflator/regulator, and you have a clutter-free setup that reduces hose tangles and simplifies your gear configuration.
Perfect for travel divers, recreational divers, wreck/cave divers, photographers, and technical divers seeking ultimate versatility and performance.
Why Choose the Hydros Pro with Air2?
Integrated Air2: Combines inflator and alternate air source in one streamlined unit
Modular Design: Customize and upgrade components as your diving evolves
Neutrally Buoyant Gel: Adds zero weight underwater (vs. +4-8 lbs for foam BCDs)
Quick-Drying: Dries in 15-30 minutes (vs. 24-48 hours for traditional BCDs)
Lightweight: 6.5-7.5 lbs (30-40% lighter than traditional BCDs)
Men's Fit: Tailored sizing and geometry for male body types
Travel-Friendly: Packable, lightweight, and perfect for frequent flyers
Durable Construction: Virtually indestructible materials built to last decades
Customizable Colors: Interchangeable color kits for personalization
Proven Quality: Trusted by professionals and enthusiasts worldwide
Integrated Air2 - Streamlined Convenience
The Air2 combines your BCD inflator and backup regulator into one compact unit—eliminating dangling hoses and clutter.
How It Works:
Primary function: Standard BCD inflator with inflate/deflate buttons
Secondary function: Fully functional alternate air source (octopus)
Single hose replaces traditional separate inflator and octopus hoses
Always in the same predictable location—right where your inflator belongs
Key Advantages:
Reduces hose clutter and snag points (ideal for wreck/cave diving)
Cleaner profile for photographers and videographers
Less drag and improved swimming efficiency
Proven design trusted for 30+ years in real-world emergencies
Easier pre-dive setup and fewer failure points
Air2 vs. Traditional Octopus:
Traditional: Two separate hoses (inflator + octopus) = more clutter
Air2: Single integrated unit = streamlined, professional appearance
Air2 always in correct position; octopus can dangle or drag
Both provide excellent breathing performance, but Air2 is simpler
Modular Design - Build Your Perfect BCD
The Hydros Pro's revolutionary modular construction allows you to customize, upgrade, and adapt your BCD as your diving evolves—no need to buy a new BCD when your needs change.
Customizable Components:
Interchangeable harness (men's, women's, travel sizes)
Backplate options (standard or travel weight)
Weight pockets (integrated, trim, or no-weight configurations)
D-rings (add, remove, or relocate attachment points)
Color kits (red, blue, yellow, pink, orange, green)
Shoulder straps and cummerbund adjustments
Long-Term Value:
Upgrade components instead of replacing entire BCD
Adapt to new diving styles without buying new gear
Replace worn parts individually
Future-proof investment with lower lifetime cost
Start basic as a beginner, evolve to technical configuration

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the integrated Air2 work in an emergency?A: In an out-of-air situation, donate your primary regulator to your buddy (as trained), then switch to breathing from the Air2 while maintaining full BCD control. The Air2 provides excellent breathing performance and allows you to control buoyancy during ascent.
Q: Is the Air2 as good as a traditional octopus?A: Yes! The Air2 is a high-performance alternate air source that meets or exceeds CE standards. It's been proven in thousands of real-world emergencies over 30+ years. Many divers prefer it because it's always in the same predictable location and creates a cleaner configuration.
Q: Can I remove the Air2 and use a traditional octopus?A: Yes, the Hydros Pro is compatible with standard inflators if you prefer a traditional octopus setup.
Q: What does "neutrally buoyant" mean?A: The Monprene® gel harness adds zero weight underwater. Traditional foam BCDs absorb water and add 4-8 lbs of positive buoyancy, requiring extra lead on your weight belt. The Hydros Pro eliminates this, allowing you to dive with less weight and achieve better trim.
Q: How is the men's version different from the women's?A: The men's version has broader shoulders, longer torso, and straighter cut. The women's version has narrower shoulders, shorter torso, and contoured waist for female body types.
Q: Can I customize the colors?A: Yes! Scubapro offers interchangeable color kits (red, blue, yellow, pink, orange, green) that you can swap without tools.
Q: How long does it take to dry?A: The gel harness dries in 15-30 minutes because it doesn't absorb water. You can pack your Hydros Pro immediately after diving—no mildew smell in your luggage!
Q: Can I use this for technical diving?A: Yes! The modular design allows you to remove weight pockets, add trim weights, and customize D-ring placement for technical diving.
Q: What size should I get?A: Visit Divers Cove for a professional fitting! We'll measure your chest, torso length, and body type to determine the perfect size.
Q: Is this durable?A: Extremely! The Monprene® gel is virtually indestructible—resistant to tears, punctures, UV, salt, and chlorine. With proper care, your Hydros Pro will last decades.
