GR 13 Ultralite by Knight Divers: Lightweight Elegance for Frequent Diving Travelers
by Francesco Cordone — Underwater Academy
If you’re an experienced diver or often travel for dive trips around Europe, Asia, or Africa, you know how crucial weight and bulk can be—on the boat, at the airport, or during transfers. The GR 13 Ultralite from Knight Divers is the solution we’ve been waiting for: incredibly lightweight, impressively effective, and CE certified in Malta.
🌊 Tested by professionals
The Underwater Academy team flew to Malta to test the GR 13 Ultralite in real-world conditions. The first impression was clear: with only 2.3 kg of weight, it’s the perfect BCD for those who want to travel light without sacrificing comfort, stability, or performance.
✅ Problems it solves
| The Problem | GR 13 Ultralite’s Solution |
| Excess baggage weight on multi-stop dive trips | Just 2.3 kg, easy to pack and carry |
| Unstable performance with single tanks | Solid support for up to 15 liters |
| Physical strain underwater | Streamlined design reduces effort and air consumption |
| Difficult trim control | Golden Ratio wing shape ensures excellent vertical balance |
| Hose air leaks | Tubeless technology keeps you safe even with punctures |
🔧 Premium materials and smart engineering
The GR 13 Ultralite is engineered in Malta using premium European materials: Cordura® 1000 DTEX with TPU coating, aluminum backplate, quick-release buckles, and corrosion-resistant stainless steel D-rings. Its asymmetrical wing follows the Golden Ratio for maximum lift and underwater stability—even with compact 13-liter tanks.
The K-style inflator, cleverly positioned on the back, is protected from accidental impact and makes inflation/deflation smooth and intuitive. Low-profile exhaust valves reduce drag and maintain a clean silhouette.
🚀 Ideal for travel and technical dives
We firmly believe the GR 13 is the ideal companion for divers who like to travel light:
- Compact and easy to pack
- Lightweight yet robust
- Perfect for single tanks up to 15 liters
- Supports long, deep, and technical dives with ease
It’s ideal for liveaboards, wreck diving, or island hopping where luggage space is limited.
🎯 Final thoughts: built for serious divers
The GR 13 Ultralite is more than just gear—it’s a mindset. Designed for demanding divers and frequent travelers, it solves the everyday problems we face underwater and in transit. The Underwater Academy team personally recommends it: if you want to dive in total freedom, you’ve just found your next essential.
