alright, so i know this has been asked many times before, i'm sure but i'm going to ask it again.

i am a PADI Dive Master working out of semporna, sabah, malaysia. we dive sipidan, mabul and kapalai on a daily basis. the water is 28 degrees C or 80 degrees F. i wear a 5 mm wetsuit and have a Zeagle 50D regulator.

I'm looking for a BCD but i'm not sure what to get.

I get suggestions daily pointing me in all different dirrections. My friends dad is suggesting i get a Hacylon wing style tech BC, backplate and all. Another friend has been recommending the Zeagle Ranger. My only quarrel with the ranger is the size as it is much larger than quite a few other BC's. Though there is the stiletto. Next i've had the Seac-Sub ProLady or ProTech recommended. I am a guy but i have dove the ProLady and it was fairly comfortable.... just not sure i was that happy.

some recommendations? things to look for? things to think about? i have to decide in the next few weeks before heading back to malaysia early may.

thanks!
 
I think you might want to consider a wing style bc, just so you can customize it the way you want depending on that dives that you'll be doing. A BC might wind up limiting you to what you can do.
