A buoyancy compensator bladder includes an air cell, a connector, a low-pressure inflator (LPI), and at least one over pressure valve. The LPI which inflates and deflates the air cell is positioned on an outer surface of the air cell. As a result, when the fully assembled buoyancy compensator is equipped by a diver, the LPI runs from behind the diver's torso and under their armpit. This results in the inflator head which is part of the LPI to be disposed on the front of the diver's chest during back mount or side mount diving. This structure allows the bladder to be easily used for either back mount or side mount diving. The bladder may further be equipped with auxiliary/non-essential devices such as wight pockets/pouches.
