I live in Korea where scuba gear is ridiculously expensive, eg. a Scubapro Knighhawk retails for >$1100 here. I'm not going to buy a BC here, but before my next dive trip I have the opportunity to buy something in Hong Kong or Kota Kinabalu (on my way to Sipadan).
Pretty sure I can't get Zeagle in either place (please correct me if i'm wrong..) and all the posts on here asking for which brand always get the response to buy a Zeagle. Also the upgradability of Zeagle probably won't work for me cause I'm not in a country where I can get the service.
So....assuming I can't get a Zeagle, what brands should I be looking at for a decent back inflatable BC? Scubapro, Oceanic, Aeris, SeaQuest, Tusa, Mares? I want something light to travel with, doesn't have to have great lift cabailities cause I only dive warm water (warm enough that I don't bother with wetsuits) but I want integrated releasable weights.
Would love to hear people's opinions and suggestions! Don't mind spending on quality equipment but would rather buy an understated brand than pay up for a label.
