Well its the end of a fabulous long weekend here in Canada and mother nature co-operated with incredible weather. Anyhow, I was able to get out for 4 dives with my new OxyCheq BP/W..........love it!

It took a bit of fiddling to get my trim just right but once I did I smiling ear to ear. Honestly I didn't think it was going to be that different from a jacket BCD......my bad.

I'm officially hooked.........
 
Glad you're pleased! The stability of backplates is immediately delightful.
 
Would highly recommend that people using a jacket style try a BP/W. Not trying to convince anyone to purchase anything, just try it and see if you like it. I was amazed how easy I found neutral compared to a jacket.
