NOS SeaQuest Malibu by Aqua-Lung Weight-Integrated BCD for Scuba Diving XL

  

This Seaquest Malibu was a display model. Never been in the water and put away in storage.

It's a stable and comfortable BC. A secondary Velcro strap positioned below the tank band helps eliminate tank wobble. A depth-compensating cummerbund works with molded shoulders that slip underneath the arms for a snug fit.

The chest strap isn't positioned too high, and it's removable if necessary. There's also good padding along the back and lumbar region, although this probably contributes to the Malibu's inherent buoyancy. The Malibu has no pockets, except for a small storage pouch located on the cummerbund.

It's better than most cummerbund pouches because it's expandable. The inflator/deflator valve and rear remote exhaust produced some of the best air flow rates. The integrated weight system features contour pouches secured by a single Velcro flap. They load easily and ditch with a solid tug on the bright yellow plastic handles.

Buckle clips secure the rear nonditchable trim weight pouches. The Malibu offers six well-positioned stainless-steel D-rings and is twin-tank compatible.
