As one of the central elements of diving equipment You absolutely have to deliver a buoyancy compensator. Does this work with the Scubaforce Black Devil Mono Wing? Mounted on a standard backplate made of stainless steel and a Tec harness, the “Black Devil” is still a light wing at five kilograms in this combination. This is certainly because the modular BCD is free of unnecessary bells and whistles and can be retrofitted with weight pockets, for example. Practical for everyone who Diving are more minimalistic. But does the minimalism of this BCD come at the expense of stability?

Nevertheless, the Scubaforce Black Devil Mono Wing is stable: it can be dived with 10 to 15 liter mono bottles, which can be securely fastened using two straps with solid fasteners. The sewn-in pads for optimal fit of the pressure containers and the all-round zipper through which the internal bladder can be completely removed are practical.

Solid wing jacket - The Scubaforce Black Devil Mono Wing shows its strengths in the water

At the Kreidesee in Hemmoor we try out what the wingjacket can do. After getting into the water, the two-shell Scubaforce Black Devil Mono Wing reveals its great advantage: The power inflator is very easy and quick to inflate and deflate - even when operated with the mouth. The valve at the top of the hose is pinned so it is not suitable for venting air. The quick drain is easy to reach at the bottom left.

After the Submerge The backpack shows what it can do: Controlled blasts of air with the inflator allow the jacket to be perfectly balanced at any depth. The large 15 liter bladder ensures that the user can easily create buoyancy even at greater depths such as wreck diving. As is usual with many wings, the diver lies in an almost horizontal prone position, which reduces flow resistance and enables perfect hovering. If you want to get into the water with a double bottle, you should use the larger version with a horseshoe bladder, retraction straps and 30 liters of buoyancy.
