Abstract: A buoyancy compensator jacket for a scuba diver is disclosed. The jacket comprises a back portion having two opposite sides. Side portions extending from the opposite sides are provided for laterally enveloping the diver's trunk and for connecting to one another generally on the diver's chest. Each of the side portions include a main pocket and a weight pocket, the weight pocket having a top opening, being arranged externally relative to the main pocket, and accommodating a bag containing weight elements. A closure element is also provided for closing the top opening of the weight pocket. In addition, the main pocket forms a compartment for concealing a closure element of its top opening. On the outside of the weight pocket, engagement elements are arranged either for engaging complementary engagement elements on the closure element, or for engaging complementary engagement elements associated with the weight-containing bag for holding the bag in a selected position within the weight pocket.

Abstract: A buoyancy compensator jacket for scuba divers comprises a back portion from two opposite sides of which there extend side portions capable of laterally enveloping the diver's trunk and being connected to each other more or less on the diver's chest. On each of said side portions there is provided a main pocket and a weight pocket with a top opening, said weight pocket being arranged externally with respect to the main pocket and is capable of accommodating a bag containing weight elements. Means for closing the top opening of the weight pocket are also provided. The main pocket forms a compartment for concealing the closure means of the top opening. On the outside of the weight pocket there are arranged engagement means for engaging alternatively, either with complementary engagement means arranged on the closure means, or with complementary engagement means associated with the weight bag to keep it in position within the weight pocket.

Abstract: A buoyancy compensator jacket comprising at least one air chamber (3) associated to a back portion (2) of the jacket and a couple of quick-release valves (6, 7), arranged on an outer face (2a) of said back portion (2), respectively near the upper and lower edges (2b, 2c) thereof. Respective ropes (8, 9) extend from the valves (6, 7) for the operation thereof. A supplementary operation rope (11) extends from the lower valve (7), the supplementary rope (11) of the lower valve (7) and the rope (8) of said upper valve (6) being mutually connected at least in correspondence to the free ends, whereby the air chamber (3) can be deflated through both valves (6, 7) by means of a single action.
