I have been diving on an old Scubapro BC bought around 1995 and it is time to finally change to something new. It has a few small leaks that have been managable but I am not going to get it replaced.
Since I have not dove with either BC style before I'm a little confused on what I should go with. I have read a bunch on back inflate vs. jacket style. I have only been able to try on the Probe at my shop as they currently don't have any Excursions in stock.
I am leaving on a trip to Cozumel soon and would like to have the new BCD with me. I currently only do rec diving, however, I am considering doing my divemaster class here shortly.
How about pockets, accessories, etc. I see the comparision chart online but it isn't too helpfull without seeing the Excursion.
Anyone, have an opinion or advice when making a decision?
