Travel Performance BC
Meet the Photon Air
An ultra-lightweight buoyancy solution delivering pro-level performance and modularity in a travel-ready design, without the bulk.
The Photon Air is a compact, low-profile BC built for streamlined rear-inflation buoyancy control with minimal drag and weight. Its innovative modular central frame delivers the durability and expandability you expect from the Photon platform, allowing accessories to be added as your diving evolves. Ideal for travel or day-boat diving, Photon Air keeps you agile wherever you dive.
Why Divers Choose Photon Air
Designed for Travel
Lightweight and highly packable, the Photon Air is purpose-built for travelling divers who want professional-level performance without carrying unnecessary bulk.
Quick Dry Fabrics
Photon Air dries quickly thanks to its innovative 3D mesh structure that maximises airflow and water drainage. Lightweight materials shed moisture rapidly, helping keep the BC lighter between dives and more comfortable on the surface.
Modularity Reimagined
Designed to evolve with the diver, the Photon system allows you to add colour kits, accessory pockets, and customise weight systems as needed.
Infinite Adjustment
Independent harness positioning allows precise adjustment across the shoulders, hips, and back for a personalised fit.
Low Profile Performance
The compact rear-inflation wing and lightweight backplate design reduce drag underwater, improve trim, and make packing for travel significantly easier.
Serviceable by Design
The Photon ecosystem includes shared components and accessories that are interchangeable, helping keep long-term service simple and cost-effective.
Sizing & Fit
Each Photon BC features infinite size adjustment, allowing you to tailor the BC to your exact body shape. This is particularly helpful when switching between wetsuits and drysuits.
Adjustable Shoulder and Waist
Infinite adjustment from XS to XXL for men, and XS to LG for women.
Gender Cut Differences
Men’s and women’s models feature specifically contoured shoulders with geometry designed to better match anatomical shape.
Cross-Compatible Platform
All Photon BCs share the same core frame, ensuring accessories remain fully compatible across the range.
Accessories & Add-Ons
A range of accessories and add-ons has been designed specifically for the Photon BC to complement and extend its modular platform.
Utility Pocket
A low-volume pocket that mounts to any Photon, ideal for storing small items such as a slate or dive light.
Dive Housing Holster
