The difference between men’s and women’s BCDs is the cut. Men and women have different body shapes, and most BCD designs center on the men’s shape.
Many women enjoy scuba diving, and that means that women’s dive gear is gaining in popularity because it is designed for females. A BCD for women will have a different design that places the straps and buckles in better places to make them secure for a woman’s shoulders and waist. The BCD may even be form-fitting to allow it to flex with the diver’s movements.
