Hydro Lite

6.2 lb, with a soft backplate that packs down for travel

Hydro Lite is Dive Rite's technically inspired BCD for single-tank divers who want a streamlined setup. At just 6.2 lb (2.8 kg), with a soft backplate, it packs down easily: Dive Rite built it for travel.

Highlights

6.2 lb and easy to pack

Just 6.2 lb (2.8 kg), with a soft backplate that packs down easily. Dive Rite designed it for divers who travel.

30 lb of lift for 7-inch cylinders

A streamlined air cell with 30 lb (13.6 kg) of lift for diver, tank and weights, designed for 7-inch cylinders. 600-denier polyester outer bag, 210-denier laminated nylon inner bladder.

Mountaineering-style harness

Keeps the rig stable in the water. On land it moves the weight to your hips and takes stress off your back and shoulders. 2 in (5 cm) webbing, 4 × 2 in (10 × 5 cm) D-rings.

12 lb integrated weight system

The integrated weight system holds up to 12 lb (5.4 kg) in total, so the BCD is an all-in-one setup.

Who it is for

Great for
  • Single-tank divers who travel and want a light, packable BCD
  • Warm-water trips on a single tank
  • Divers who like a tech-style rig but want an all-in-one BCD
Maybe not for
  • Divers using cylinders other than 7-inch: Dive Rite designed it for 7-inch cylinders, so ask us first
  • Divers with steel tanks or heavier exposure suits: Dive Rite calls Hydro Lite ideal for warm-water single-tank diving, and calls the 35 lb Voyager XT ideal for steel cylinders in warm water or heavier exposure protection (a wing you pair with a backplate and harness)

Size guide

Not sure about the size?

  • Measure your chest while wearing the suit you dive in.
  • Straps adjust a little, but the right size makes trim in the water easier.
  • Between two sizes? Ask us before you order.
