The Sea Quest Raider BC achieves uniqueness by delivering tech with comfort. 

For those who have always found it difficult to achieve an exact fit because of having a longer (or shorter) torso, the Raider has a new Torso Adjusting System (TAS).  It also features the Self-adjusting Lumbar Support system (SLS), which conforms to a divers lower lumbar.  These two features coupled together deliver a whole new level of comfort, custom fit and stability. 

However, one of the best features of the Raider is the fact that you can quickly adjust the shoulders without having to disassemble the BC – the ease of adjustability and convenience is unsurpassed with this patent pending feature, making the Raider unlike any other BC in the world!   

 

 “We wanted to achieve tech redefined with comfort” says Jeff Allsop, BC Product Manager. “We have added features to the Raider that alleviates having to compromise comfort when diving a tech style BC. The ease of adjustability without disassembly is, I think, the pinnacle feature of this BC. All of our competitors BC’s require disassembly in order to achieve the correct shoulder adjustment. Also, we developed sculpted shoulders that provide unsurpassed fit by use of our exclusive pivot buckle system that allows natural movements while diving and we also added extra padding in the shoulder straps”.

 

Another unique feature found on the Raider is the ability the diver has to re-position their center of gravity! What this means is that the entire weight module, which consists of a weight pouch inside a sheath and a roomy outside pocket, can be removedand reattached into three different positions. This allows the diver to achieve the most efficient center of gravity based on their personal tank(s) and weight set up. This is yet another Sea Quest exclusive benchmarking the future of BC’s. 

 

The Raider is fully weight integrated with a new 50 pound double bag back inflation bladder. The outer bladder is constructed of 1050 Denier Nylon material for increased wear resistance. Other features include two tank mounted non-ditch pockets – holding up to 5 pounds each, new adjustable shoulder D-rings for attaching accessories where you want them, an over molded carrying handle which is standard for all sizes and may be used for BC positioning on tank, a vertical adjustable chest strap to compensate for dry suit valves, a multiset waistband, larger shoulder strap adjustment D-rings allow for easier adjusting even when wearing the thickest gloves, plus many more features and options.
