Ok, so I've only been diving with an older jacket-style BCD (I'm still in OW training). I am sick of going to the top for instruction and constantly looking dumb because I have to fight to keep my face out of water, which causes me to move forward. So while the instructor speaks, I'm swimming circles around the group. Might make me look hard core, but I hate it.
Anyway, does anyone know who the genius was who designed these things like that? I mean, shouldn't BCs work like a type-1 PFD??? You wouldn't want an unconscious dive coming up and laying face down. I simply can't figure that out.
Maybe I'm weighted wrong. I dunno. I know I have a hell of a lot to learn, and a lifetime of diving yet to do, but these consarn jacket BCDs are making me angry.
