Cressi Emperor BCD Review: Jacket Comfort Meets Backwing Trim

Can a jacket-style BCD really offer proper trim control?
In this review, Torben from DIVEIN takes the Cressi Emperor BCD on multiple dives to see how it performs—both underwater and at the surface.
We cover:
✅ Hybrid bladder design—how it trims like a wing and floats like a jacket
✅ Comfort, fit, and real dive performance
✅ Who the Emperor is perfect for (and who should skip it)
If you’re a recreational diver looking for comfort and control, this BCD might surprise you.
