#1. STEALTH: Unlike the standard Eagle Z1 Travel BCD, the FBI version is totally blacked out for additional personal safety. Now days having a famous USA brand name plastered all over the air cell, a flashy logo on the pockets, an American flag, or Made in USA label can get you taken hostage or killed in many parts of the world. The FBI version has nothing to draw attention or to put you at risk. Showing up in an airport with only a computer size briefcase case makes you invisible, and your gear secure. This FBI briefcase version is only 17.5" x 11" x 8.5" and is under 8 pounds, and the little black transport bag is included.

#2. STRONG: Both cylinder clamps are made from indestructible solid stainless steel, not molded plastic. You can run these over with a Land Cruiser and they won’t break. Having a broken clamp can make any BCD useless.

#3. ESCAPE: The SS divers escape tool is already built in, and instantly available with either hand. These Paramedic PJ shears are often more useful than a diver knife, and can be transport on most international airlines.

#4. SECURITY: With 48 pounds of lift, you are always supported high on the surface, even in rough water. A removable and adjustable crotch strap harness is included for rough water & beach diving providing additional support. This can be instantly converted to a U/W scooter tow rig just by adding the optional 2" brass ring.

#5. ADAPTABILITY: Any size single cylinder can be used from 30 to 160 cu/ft. The retractable air cell is designed for use with pony tanks, and the 10 SS D-Ring are configured so sling tanks can also be attached if desired.

#6. SERVICE: Special threaded air cell fittings including the RE valve are designed for easy user service and cleaning, and do not require any tools to disassemble unlike many sport BCD units that do require dealer tools.

#7. INFLATOR: This model includes a high flow, variable speed deep diving rated inflator system. Unlike most sport rated BCD’s, so there is no lag time at deeper depths when making buoyancy corrections.

#8. REPAIRABLE: Unlike bladder-less single air cells that cannot be repaired at all, the Eagle Z1 uses a heavy polyurethane separate internal bladder made from the same tough material as skate board tires. This makes rapid field repairs possible, even from gun shots with only a tube of Aqua-Seal.

#9. RELIABILITY: Unlike inferior imported BCD products, there are no cheap plastic clamps to break, ballistic nylon seams to unravel, and no weight pockets to loose, or silly Ripcord weight release systems to re-thread. The Eagle Z1 marine grade 1000d tight weave Cordura air cell is puncture resistant and MUCH stronger with NONE of the short life span, and leaking problems associated with bladder-less nylon air cells nor the delaminating issues the others have. Designed in Calif. USA with a perfect record of building quality BCD products for the last 15 years.

#10. SAFETY: Integrated advanced 2 speed safety weight release system can carry up to 30 pounds total ballast. Weights can be reloaded in under 30 seconds while still wearing the BCD! It can use any type of weights, soft shot bags or hard brick rental style weights. The 3 axis adjustable 2 rear trim weight pockets can hold 5 pounds each, offering stable vertical surface support at the surface.

#11. COMFORT: The auto swivel harness is comfortable with nothing in the front to squeeze or cause pain! Everything that touches your body is soft, padded and smooth to protect your skin and wetsuit. The plush padded lumbar pad is included. Auto depth compensating instant adjustable 10" waist panels and adjustable shoulders allow for a perfect size, no matter what your body size, shape, or wetsuit thickness.

#12. BALANCE: The Eagle Z1 is NOT a back inflation BCD that floats you face down at the surface! Because of the unique adjustable & retractable wing design, and proper ballast weight placement using 4 independent weight pockets, it will hold the diver almost perfectly vertical at the surface just like a normal jacket style BCD. By having your ballast weight placement correctly located around the human balance point the CG is adjustable, so perfect personal balance can always be achieved. Nothing to squeeze you, and extremely comfortable.
