Scubapro Glide Plus

[farnum]

After visiting many of my local dive shops and trying on the BCs that they had in stock, I have decided on the Scubapro Glide Plus. I am going to pick it up on Saturday, so I still have a few days to change my mind. Does anyone have this BC? Any pros/cons that I might not realize when I am trying it on in the store? The one thing that I have realized so far is that I need to be sure that I get the new weight pockets that have zippers instead of velcro.

Thanks.

I have the glide plus and love it. It's a great jacket. Quite heavy but still comfortable.

Hope you still find it useful

I rented one for a few dives - I'd have to check the logbook but I think I used it for a total of 12 or 13, ranging from shallow reef dives to deeper wall dives to cold water use here at home (Minnesota).

Make sure that you get one that fits. I think mine was a little bit too big, as I had it as tight as possible and it kept "riding up" on me in the water. I was constantly grabbing the bottom edges of the vest and tugging it back down to where it belonged.
