BC2
BACK. TO THE FUTURE.
US$1,549.95
The BC2 is the back inflation evolution of the acclaimed Atomic Aquatics BC series. The Atomic Aquatics BC2 incorporates the same futuristic, incredibly tough, corrosion-resistant materials as the jacket-style BC1. A result of the Atomic Aquatics “design studio” approach, the BC2 is a radical design departure from conventional back inflation BCs and is the TOUGHEST BACK INFLATION BC in the world.
Please Note: Inflator assembly sold separately
EXCLUSIVE ATOMIC AQUATICS BC SERIES MATERIALS
The BC2 is crafted using a unique double-laminated polyurethane-coated fabric and corrosion-resistant metals. The attractive matte-coated fabric sheds water so the BC2 is virtually DRY seconds after surfacing. This exclusive Atomic Aquatics BC series fabric is incredibly strong and durable to provide years of confident diving. It holds nearly double the pressure of standard BC materials, is virtually impenetrable and resists abrasion, tears and punctures. Self-cleaning, UV and stain-resistant, it also resists chemicals, mold, rot and mildew.
PATENTED EZ-LOK WEIGHT SYSTEM
The exclusive Atomic Aquatics EZ-LOK Weight Release System enables divers to quickly, easily load weights while in or out of the water. Two zippered pouches each hold up to 10 pounds of hard or soft weights (14 pounds for X-Large size). Weight pouches glide into pockets under the arms and lock into place with a reassuring “SNAP.” A simple one-handed tug on the handle is all it takes to release. Weight pouch is secured at the BC back to prevent shifting forward.
(US Patent No. 9,296,451)
CAM-LOK TANK BAND
The Ratcheting CAM-LOK Tank Band is the result of Atomic Aquatics engineers rethinking everything. It allows divers to mount and secure the BC2 to a wide range of tank sizes in just seconds. The ratcheting band is similar to the bindings on ski boots and quickly adjusts without the cumbersome weaving of webbing through a buckle. Pressing the over-center buckle locks it down. The strong one-piece band is polyurethane coated and sealed from the elements so it won’t slip, stretch, or absorb water like conventional nylon webbing.
BC2 EXCLUSIVE ATOMIC AQUATICS FEATURES
1. EXCLUSIVE LAMINATED & COATED WATERPROOF FABRIC
The custom matte finish fabric looks and feels unlike any other BC. Not only is it beautiful, it LOOKS as tough as it is, designed to hold up year after year. It is virtually impermeable and resists abrasion, tears and punctures. The strong double-laminated polyurethane coated fabric actually SHEDS water like a raincoat.
2. RATCHETING CAM-LOK TANK BAND
This Atomic Aquatics design exclusive is the easiest tank band to use, working much like ski and snowboard bindings. Easily adapts to a wide variety of tank sizes. No more wetting a nylon web band and weaving it through a buckle.
3. PATENTED EZ-LOK WEIGHT RELEASE SYSTEM
A remarkably easy-to-use design feature. Each weight pouch holds up to 10 lbs. of hard or soft weights, smoothly glides into pockets, and locks with a reassuring “SNAP”. Releases with a simple tug on the handle.
4. QUILTED BACKPAD & ADJUSTABLE LUMBAR PAD
Uniquely elegant and functional, enabling a diver to adjust for the most comfortable fit. BC2 carrying handle is concealed behind the diamond pattern backpad.
5. SAND-RESISTANT POCKET ZIPPERS
Uniquely Atomic Aquatics, the self-sealing zipper closes completely to prevent sand or debris from getting caught in zipper teeth.
6. TITANIUM-COATED STAINLESS STEEL D-RINGS
Custom 316 Stainless Steel D-rings with Titanium PVD coating are corrosion-resistant and strategically placed for convenience.
7. LOW-PROFILE TRIM WEIGHT POCKETS
Uniquely hydrodynamic pockets each hold up to 5 lbs. for improved diver profile in the water.
8. NON-SKID TANK PAD
Combined with the CAM-LOK tank band, the rigid molded tank pad and backpack provides ultimate tank security with CNC-Machined Stainless Steel hardware molded to the frame.
9. “DRY GLIDE” EXHAUST PULL DUMPS & KNOBS
Low friction 316 Stainless Steel pull dumps in two locations with patent pending Anti-Floating Pull Knob with lengthened tails.
10. HIGH-PERFORMANCE INFLATION CHOICES
A choice is in the air. A truly elite world-class BC deserves high-performance inflation and safe second options. Dive with the innovatively designed Atomic SS1 available in Titanium or Stainless Steel. Or dive with a high performance pairing of the Atomic Octo and the Ai Power Inflator. Inflator/safe second options sold separately.

The most comfortable scuba diving BC I’ve ever worn. Looks and feels like diving in a Ferrari! I matched my BC2 with a SS1 alternate air source and absolutely love it. Thanks for the top notch products Atomic Aquatics!

Tip-top BC. It feels sooo nice when I am wearing it. I love the fast drying and the weight pockets. Using with my Titanium SS1 and T3, it’s my dream kit. Thank you Atomic Aquatics!

I am an inflator mechanism freak and the one featured in BC2 is the best I have ever tried. It feels like I am able to add gas by molecules if I wanted to. The pockets are just about right sized. It looks phenomenal and feels even better.

My name is Jeff Zaring. I received my first certification in 1982. I became a dive professional in 1986. I have been a pretty active diver all my life logging well over 5000 dives in many different environments with a wide verity of equipment.
When Atomic first came into existence, I was so impressed with their Regulator, I immediately changed from my SCUBAPRO reg to the Atomic Z2. Never a Regret. Absolutely, the best regulator I have ever used and will continue to use only Atomic Regulators.
A few weeks ago, my dive shop owners handed me the Atomic BC2. Once again, Atomic products did not disappoint. This is by far, the best BCD I have ever used.
First thing I noticed, felt really, was the support the bcd gives. I have had no more sore or stiff back issues from diving since I began diving with the BC2. The trim pockets are one of my favorite features, low profile and hidden. The tank ratchet is easy to use and holds the tank securely without worry of slipping or coming loose. The material is durable and incredibly comfortable. The weight pocket latching system, easy to use solid security.
All that would be meaningless without amazing performance. The Atomic BC2 surpassed all my expectations for bcd performance. Holding and maintaining position underwater is effortless.
To say the least, as always, I am impressed by what Atomic has engineered and produced. I’m now being called Mr. Atomic because I don’t stop talking about their gear.

Once you choose the right diving equipment you will be a great diver full of skills …. It’s the only BCD that help you to fly underwater and I think I will call it “FERRARI OF THE SEA” best thanks to Atomic for the best BCD I ever use. Also, perfect material love how fast it getting dry and loooove wearing it. BC2 ♡

It is a very nice BC. I am not quite as much of a fan as the other reviewers here. I have a couple of small issues with it but overall I am very happy with the BC2. It fits very well and balances better in the water than any other BC I have used. I have been diving for 50 years and was a commercial diver in the 1970’s and am working again as a diver. With easily 10,000 hours diving I have been around the block and this BC is worth the premium. I have two other high end back inflation BC;s and this is easily my favorite.

Love the material fits snug, have not dove with my own yet I barrowed one back in December 2019. I loved it now I got one in my proper size. I love it, only down fall is the the price but worth it in the long run.

I haven’t got certified yet but I went ahead and bought all my gear. I got the BC2 and the T3 Regulator and the Venom Frameless Mask. I finally got to use it for the first time. I was so impressed with both products. I am happy I didn’t listen to the people that told me not to buy my equipment until I have completed 25 dives. I felt like it was important to have good quality of equipment especially for a person that has never done this before. I have had a few classes now and the only regret I have is that I didn’t buy the fins. I am waiting on a sale to come back around and I will have the fins to complete my entire set up

Love the new BC2!!!
