Hello,
It's time for a 2nd BCD - I'm a recreational diver and at times I will wear up to 7mm but not dry suit (though that might happen at some point).
Currently I have Zeagle Lazer and what I realized from various diving trips is that it is easier to unbuckle weight belt and hand it to the boat rather than try to climb up weighed down or pass the whole BCD to the boat, especially if you're diving from a boat that doesn't have a very good ladder (or no ladder) or the sea is rough.
So what I'm looking for is a very light weight back inflate BCD for travel. It's never going to do tech diving. It needs to accommodate different wetsuit thickness.
Based on this I'm looking at Zeagle Express Tech or Hollis Ride Wing. They seem similar other than crotch strap and Hollis Ride Wing seems slightly lighter and is a bit cheaper.
Any feedback would be great! Thanks.
