Hollis, the trusted name behind the dive equipment of tech and sidemount divers, launched its first-ever online program that allows you to build and design your own custom BCD system—in just a few clicks with your dealer. Say hello to the Hollis Custom Rig Builder (CRIB).
What Makes It So Special?
The Hollis CRIB offers a smart, simple way to customize your Buoyancy Control Device, turning your ideas into a stylishly personalized Hollis BCD that works for you.
You get to choose the type of harness, backplate, wing, and add-on accessories.
Does Color Matter?
Of course. You can choose from seven colors (aqua, black, blue, camo, lime, pink, and red)—not just the Hollis black-and-red trademark color set. Whether you want a professional look or an eye-catching hue, you’re in control, so make it yours! Picking your color is a sure way to make your rig instantly recognizable in an ocean of similar-looking ones.
Who Is the Hollis Custom BCD For?
Hollis CRIB is a new option for divers who are not afraid to add some color and character to their dive gear. So for the tech diver, sidemount diver and any serious diver who cares about having a Hollis buoyancy system that is sized for them with the stability and lift they need.
Whatever the configuration, Hollis CRIB is for:
- Single tanks,
- Back-mounted doubles,
- And sidemount systems.
How Does It Work?
- Step 1: Visit your Hollis retailer. Specifically, look for Hollis CRIB dealers. These dive shops have a larger inventory, which means they can provide faster delivery of your custom BCD (we’re talking within 5 business days). Otherwise, any Hollis retailer can still place your order—it will just take a little longer.
- Step 2: Select your BCD setup. Choose between a single tank, a double tank, or a sidemount system.
- Step 3: Build it. Choose your specs, such as wing size, backplate material, and harness system.
- Step 4: Make it yours. Pick your color combination from aqua, black, blue, camo, lime, pink, and red.
- Step 5: Choose your add-ons. Customize your BCD to make it more comfortable and ready for your dive environment with extras like storage pockets, weight pockets, and a single tank adaptor.
- Step 6: Collect your custom-built BCD from your local CRIB dealer.

What the Diving Community Thinks
Hollis CRIB didn’t come out of the blue (no pun intended), but is exactly what divers have been demanding for a very long time: an easy-to-personalize BCD with the color of their choice.
Experienced divers choose the Hollis rugged and modular backplate and wing systems that offer comfort and reliability at any depth—CRIB reinforces these concepts by allowing you to control every component.
