SEARCH TCB-25 from Seareq
The BCD SEARCH TCB-25 was developed in cooperation with American Rescue Divers. It is reflected in the very strong material and manufacturing as well as in its outstanding specials! Most of the features we have adopted, others we have even improved. The result is an extraordinary BCD — SEARCH TCB-25.
The classical ADV (Adjustable Divers Vest) cut provides a lot of advantages::
- It provides a high wearing comfort because it stays close to the body without compressing it and without "fluttering”. The high ascending volume provide a very comfortable use.
- Belts and cummerbund are infinitely variable; Very comfortable for divers using different suits frequently (Dry-/Semi-dry, Wet suit ...).
- Very comfortable cut for ladies and gents in all swimming positions
- In spite of its very high ascending volumes the BCD can be folded to a very compact size and to store it in baggages;
⇒ ASCENDING VOLUMES
Extremely durable, extremely visible, extremely clever details
2600 Denier Strong Cordura
SEARCH TCB-25 is the most durable BCD at all: it is made from 2600 denier strong Cordura! No other BCD is made from such tough material.
Safety Color "Signal-Orange"
The safety color “Signal Orange” makes the diver visible over a long distance – above and below the surface. Only those who are seen, can be e can be rescued.
The Orange color has no influence on the behavior of the animals!
To improve visibility to maximum SEARCH TCB-25 provides 1 SOLAS reflector on the top of each shoulder which reflects sun light and searching spots.
Individual Adjustable
In addition to several D-rings the BCD provides numerous loops to fix equipment.
⇒ PERSONALIZE
2 Spacious Pockets, 7 D-Rings made of Stainless Steel, Re-tractor
7 D-rings are attached to the BCD, all made of stainless steel (V4A) and welded!
2 spacious pockets are placed at the front, each providing 2 additional small D-rings. Furthermore a Retractor (stainless steel) can implement in each pocket to fix compass, torch, note-pad, etc
Dump Valves
Sizes M to XXL are equipped with 4 Dump Valves (except size S), 2 of them are Over Pressure Valves (size S provides 3 Dump Valves / 2 Over Pressure Valves:
- On the top of the right shoulder
- On the top of the corrugated inflator hose
- Backside, right down
- Backside, left down (not availabe in size S)
The 4th Dump Valve — our contribution to "Equal Rights for Lefties!"
SEARCH TCB-25 provides on both sides of its backside a Dump Valve (not at size S).
Not only “Lefties“ appreciating for it but also all divers holding a compass or camera in their right hand while the BCD has to become deflated.
Now, the 4th Dump Valve turns out to a very comfortable advantage.
Crotch Strap
Often, Rescue Professionals have to jump into water from helicopters. To ensure the BCD stays in place even in such outstanding situations with very strong force effects a crotch strap is attached to it. Additionally the crotch strap avoids hits of the tank valve against the back of the head
It is welcomed from all divers who are diving down headfirst. It is split and does not restrict genitals. The crutch belt is fixed with 3 Fast-clips and can be removed easily.
By the way: The word "SEARCH" of the name of the BCD stands for the safety color "Signal Orange" which prevents that the Rescue Diver has to become searched!
