Review of Scubapro knighthawk B.C.

The scubapro knight hawk buoyancy compensator is considered the best B.C. in the diving world. It is low-profile buoyancy system designed for the more technical diver. It has plenty of d- hoops for attachments. Such things as emergency tubes for unrolling and blowing up in an emergency can be attached to the knight hawk. . Basically any attachments needed to help you on any dive can be put on here. Many divers use this and rate the scubapro knight hawk as the "best Buoyancy compensator I’ve ever used". But it is not without its faults. The scubapro knight hawk is, even as low- profile as it is, too bulky for the lobster divers and some cave divers, who need the most flexible B.C. out there. There are some such vests but they are hard to find.
Personally, I have used the scubapro knight hawk. I found it a great B.C. underwater. It is very reliable and I can stay relatively versatile while in it, but there are some weak points. The vest's many attachment points means more things hanging off that can catch on under water foliage. Also, the quick release swivel points are made of plastic and, at first glance, seem weak. Many people have thought so as well, but i have yet to hear of anyone actually having them break. Now I know that others may have other wants with a B.C., and some larger people may need more than the twenty pounds total of weight than the nighthawk can hold, but this is not the b.c. for you. The needs of most recreational divers will be well met by the scubapro knight hawk buoyancy compensator. It isnt the best, but the knight hawk is as close to the best as it gets.
