Buoyancy Compensators (BC's) and Weight SystemsPoint your weighty "BC" questions and input here. Tell others what you use and what you do and don't like about it etc...
I was in a local dive shop yesterday and saw the Aeris 5 Oceans BC. I tried it on and it felt really good. Its considered a crossover BC. I know its new to the market but has anyone had the chance to check it out?
I'm going for my Advanced Open water dives next weekend and I'm very strongly considering buying a 5 Oceans. I've only read and heard good things, and I'm gonna make it my first BC.
Jorgy, it is a great BC all around. light weight and compact, very comfortable and fit well with a 7mm wetsuit. the strap for the low pressure inflator is a little high on the shoulder strap, but I usually leave it loose anyway. On the surface you will notice that the back inflator pushes you forward a little, but just lean back a little more and your good.
All around though a solid choice, I would recommend a 5 Oceans for anyone interested.
