Pro QDi3 BCDs
The Pro QDi3 is the first BCD that
incorporates i3 technology.
For years, the Pro QDi3 has been an extremely popular BCD
for novices and experts alike. Now, with the addition of i3 technology and
fresh, new cosmetics, its popularity is sure to soar. Sea Quest i3 from Aqua
Lung
The Sea Quest i3 is an innovative, new inflation system
found exclusively in Sea Quest BCD's. Its greatest asset is its simplicity and
how intuitive it is to use. Move the lever up to go up; push it down to go
down. What could be easier? What's more, when dumping air from the BCD, the i3
opens all of the new Flat E-Valves at once. Gone are the days of deciding which
valve to reach for based upon your orientation in the water.
Safe - The i3 allows you to take control of your diving.
Mastering buoyancy control is one of the most difficult skills to learn. The i3
not only makes the skill easier but eliminates potential out-of-control-ascents
caused by a diver reaching for the wrong dump valve. The i3 also allows for
rapid location and activation of the inflator to establish buoyancy at the
surface in case of an emergency.
Easy - The i3 is simple and intuitive. Move the lever up
to go up; down to go down
Convenient - Unlike a traditional inflator at the end of a
floppy hose, the i3 never moves. It is stationary at the same location where
your left hand normally rests. It is always in the right place at the right
time.
Reliable - The i3 does not utilise pneumatics or hydraulics
to activate the Flat E-Valves. Therefore, there is no possibility of failure
due to leaks. Using push-rod technology, as found in aircraft, the design
remains simple and robust.
Fun - The i3 is just plain fun to use.
- Intuitive design makes buoyancy control safer and easier
- Opens upper and lower dump valves simultaneously. No
more thinking about which dump valve to reach for
- Over-moulded lever prevents gloves from slipping off
while using
- Increased flow rate over traditional inflators. Allows
you to fill your BCD faster
- Attached dust cap prevents contaminants from entering
mechanism when not in use
- The i3 uses fewer parts and is easier to service
compared to standard inflators
- Using the new lp hose grip, the lp hose can be attached
or removed while wearing the BCD.
This will satisfy instructional agency requirements to
disconnect and reattach lp hose while training
