Hey guys,
I'm thinking about purchasing a DUI drysuit sometime next fall (did the DUI demo days and had a blast!)
However, I currently dive with a Scubapro Classic Plus jacket type BC and I love it very much and am very comfortable with it.
When I see most drysuit divers though, they are typically diving a Backplate + wing BC setup. Is there anything particularly wrong with diving a drysuit with a jacket BC? I figured it'd be better for me to skip getting a 7mm wetsuit and instead get a drysuit because it would give me more flexibility for cold water diving. Also, spending $1500+ on a drysuit and then having to buy an expensive backplate + wing setup wouldn't be affoardable for me right now. Might I get a BP+W later? Sure...it's possible. However, just getting my new classic plus 2 years ago, I'd rather get good use out of that for now.
Sorry, I'm rambling, but maybe you see my situation now and someone out there can enlighten me on the subject.
Thanks guys!
Jim
