Ok, I wanna know if I did the right thing. Note I am currently on a very constricted budget. Up to this point Ive pretty much stuck with recreational diving but am thinking about getting into a little more advanced stuff in the future.
Due to a couple of surgerys I was unable to dive last year; and, am now about a hundred pounds lighter than the last time I dove. That being said, the last time I dove I was using a 5X jacket style BC, (Ive only ever used a jacket style BC). Since my weight loss even my old 3X jacket was too big, so I was planning on diving into a BP/W set up, then:
I happened to get a chance on a used Trans Pac in really good shape for a pretty good price (far less than the SS BP/ wing set up I was going to get. And I'll be damned if it doesn't fit really well, or at least I think it does, I really have no point of reference because of my size the entirety of my diving experience, I've never fit well into a BC, but I always had to "make-due", as any other large mammal types know what Im talking about.
Anyway was the Trans Pac a good choice, especially since I want to get into tek?
