Otter:What is this @#$@$@? So instead of kneeling on the bottom, they teach you to lie on your back? Or is it that he is so inextricably entangled, that he can't move and is praying for divine intervention? And look at all of those empty d-rings, what a waste!
At least he is horizontal.
ShakaZulu:Why dont's someone post a picture of one of those DIR dewds..........job done.
spectrum:Because everything is black and you still can't sort out the detail.

I think you should go with whatever is most comfortable to you. I am decidedly biased towards a BP/W, but as long as you don't look like a Christmas tree then you will be a lot further than many divers. Part of this discussion is to promote the idea that you don't need all the junk you think you do underwater. If you do bring it, then stow it.serambin:I may be replaceing my gear soon, but the question is is hanging items on d-rings more streamline that putting them in pockets in a BCD.
I don't need a lot of extras on a dive. My gauges with my computer in a mini-console, all my other gear is in the form of a Akona pro addon to my BCD. My octo is integated into my inflation hose.
Now I do use a 7' under the arm primary, but the exposed hose is minimal. But should I change to a bc/w rig?
