What Does BCD Stand For?
BCD stands for Buoyancy Control Device
A Buoyancy Control Device (BCD) is a key piece of scuba diving equipment that allows divers to regulate their buoyancy underwater. By inflating or deflating the BCD using an integrated air bladder, divers can achieve neutral buoyancy, making it easier to navigate and maintain stability while exploring underwater environments. The BCD also typically features straps for securing the tank and attachment points for accessories, enhancing safety and convenience during dives.
