Aqualung Pro Qd I3 (black/red)

The Pro QD is the first BC that incorporates i3 technology. For years, the Pro QD has been an extremely popular BC for novices and experts alike. Now, with the addition of i3 technology and fresh, new cosmetics, its popularity is sure to soar.

The intuitive i3™ will change the way you dive forever. With this innovative technology, a lever helps you control your buoyancy. It’s that simple.
It’s diving made easier — take control of yourself.

SAFE
The i3 (patent pending) allows you to take control of your diving. Mastering buoyancy control is one of the most difficult skills to learn. The i3 not only makes the skill easier but eliminates potential out-of-control-ascents caused by a diver reaching for the wrong dump valve. The i3 also allows for rapid location and activation of the inflator to establish buoyancy at the surface in case of an emergency.

EASY
The i3 is simple and intuitive. Move the lever up to inflate; down to deflate your jacket.

CONVENIENT
Unlike a traditional inflator at the end of a floppy hose, the i3 never moves. It is stationary at the same location where your left hand normally rests. It is always in the right place at the right time.

RELIABLE
The i3 does not utilize pneumatics or hydraulics to activate the Flat E-Valves. Therefore, there is no possibility of failure due to leaks. Using push-rod technology, as found in aircraft, the design remains simple and robust.

FUN
The i3 is just plain fun to use.
