Hello, I am new to diving and just received my open water certification and now I want to purchase some equipment.
One of my first purchases will be a BCD, and after reading the forum I have decided that the Zeagle Stiletto might be my best option. However, when I spoke with a dive shop sales person, he mentioned that the Stiletto only has 35 pounds of lift which may not be good if diving with a full, 7mm wet suit, which I will be doing. Of course, the shop didn't carry Zeagle products.
I am a pretty big guy (losing weight finally ) and when I did my open water cert dives I used 18 pounds of weight and was wearing a 3mm half suit.
My question is should I be concerned that the Zeagle Stiletto only has 35 pounds of lift or is the store sales person only trying to get me to buy what they have in the store?
Thanks.
