I tried a wing style BC about 15 years ago as it was supposed to be superior due to being able to control your boyancy better. I decided to stick with the normal BC as I didnt have a big problem with the standard and didnt want to end up face down in the water unconcious in an emergency.
When I bought my latest BC about 5 years ago there was a discussion with my dive shop re integrated weights. The guy in the dive shop thought integrated weights were more comfortable but what would you do if you had to take your gear off underwater. So I kept a seperate weight belt and glad I did.
Am I getting too careful in my old age or do other divers consider these things dangerous?
What do you consider the most dangerous piece of equipment in use today?
