Oceanic Photon Series BCD Size Chart & Fit Guide
Official Gender-Specific Sizing & Measurement Guide (Men's & Women's Cuts)
Selecting the correct size for your Oceanic Photon BCD (Photon Air & Photon Pro) ensures proper buoyancy distribution, effortless trim, and complete elimination of tank-roll. Oceanic designs its Photon series in distinct Men's and Women's gender-specific cuts: Men's models feature broader shoulders and extended torso scaling, while Women's models (engineered with Hera-fit geometry) feature contoured shoulder straps, a narrower backplate, and shorter torso proportions.
How to Measure for Your Oceanic BCD
Measure over the exposure protection suit (wetsuit or drysuit undergarments) you intend to dive with most frequently:
- Chest / Bust: Measure around the fullest part of your chest or bust under your arms.
- Waist: Measure around your natural waistline just above your hip bones.
- Height & Weight: Baseline indicators to verify backplate length and harness range.
