Scuba BCDs - Jacket Style BCDs

 Jacket style BCDs…

are inflated in a more balanced fashion because the inflation bladder surrounds the body.  They typically have more overall inflation than vest style BCDs as well.  This means they are good for divers who need to maintain a vertical orientation in the water or spend a lot of time on the surface as many shore divers do.

Jacket style BCDs are also great for the beginning diver.

This is a good BCD to practice with as many dive operators rent them when you go on vacation.
