Hello every. I am new to diving (actually getting certified in a few weeks) and I am new to the board. Now I realize that being so new to diving many of you may be wondering why I am asking about BC's when I could just rent one. The easy answer is I am too big for the standard BC's ( I am 6'1 and about 375 lbs). Because of my size I am afraid that to be comfortable diving I am going to have a BC customized. I have spoken with Zeagle and know they will customize the BC's I have also heard Sea Elite will customize BC's At any rate my question is are there any recomendations on either of these manufacturers? also what is the difference between the back inflator BC's and jacket BC's? Other than paying an arm and a leg for a custom job are there any recommendations on getting on that fits? Along those same lines any advice or recommendations you can give me regarding searching for the right BC would be appreciated. thanks.
