Originally invented in 1972 by David Parker the Auto Air was years ahead of its time preceding all of the current crop of octo-inflators. It combines in one compact unit, the AP jacket breathing facility, a direct feed power inflator and an alternate air source octopus bail-out.

The new Auto Air 2006 has been improved and restyled. It still offers superb breathing performance but is now a balanced valve with the advantage that it requires no adjustment or setup. It will automatically balance to the interstage pressure of whatever regulator it is fitted to.

The BUDDY Commando is probably the most famous BCD ever built.

Originally developed to meet the punishing demands of Navy SAR divers - and still in service today.
It subsequently took the sport and technical diving market by storm outselling its rivals for over 20 years.

The new Commando retains the essential qualities and features on which this success is based – such as superior build, lift and surface support characteristics - and adds the new advantages offered by re::flex technology.
