Tecline Side Mount BCD SIDE 16 Avenger Transilvania – 16 kg Buoyancy
The Tecline SIDE 16 Avenger Transilvania represents one of the most advanced solutions for technical side mount divers. Built upon the robust foundation of the Avenger series, this model incorporates the latest design trends to offer maximum comfort and safety even in the tightest restrictions. The Transilvania edition is a perfect fusion of durability and sophisticated ergonomics.
Technical Specifications and Design
The defining characteristic of this BCD is its super-low profile design, which fits closely to the diver’s body, effectively minimizing the risk of entanglement. The outer shell is constructed from highly resistant, high-density fabric, capable of withstanding significant abrasion and mechanical stress.
The 16 kg (35 lbs) lift capacity provides a stable platform for various gas configurations. The system features an innovative weight management system: the central weight channel and auxiliary pockets allow for precise ballast distribution along the spine, which is essential for achieving and maintaining perfect horizontal trim. The harness stiffness and D-ring placement are meticulously engineered for precise cylinder mounting.
Application and Recommendations
This model is specifically developed for advanced and expedition-level divers. It is ideally suited for:
- Cave exploration, where freedom of movement and minimal bulk are critical.
- Technical diving, involving the management of multiple deco cylinders.
- Divers seeking the highest level of configurability to suit their specific body type or diving style.
