My boyfriend and I have only been diving for a short while (we have only done about 40 dives), but we absolutely love it...we already booked 3 liveaboard trips for this year So now we want to get our own equipment. We already bought regulators (aqualung LX supreme), but now we are looking for the wright BCD. However we think it is quite difficult to decide which BCD is the right one. So far we asked advise in a few stores, but we feel like not everyone is completely honest with us and they all say different things, so that makes it quite hard to decide.
- We want to find something in the more budget range preferably below 400 euro.
- I think for me a female BCD is a better fit
- We have been advised semi-wings, and they seem great, but we dont have experience with them. Does anybody know of good semi-wings in this price range? Or would you recommend a normal BCD over a semi-wing. It seems quite hard to come up with drawbacks of the semi-wing.
- We are looking for the right trade-off between weight and durability. We will travel a fair bit, so weight is important to some extent, but we dont want to give in too much to robustness.
Some BCDs we have been looking at: Cressi Back Jac, Seac Sub Pro 2000, Mares hybrid AT (also she dives), Aqualung Pearl.
I would be incredibly happy to get some advise here! Thanks very much in advance!
