I've just recieved my C-card, wow it's cool, but anyway...
I'm now awaiting delivery (from manufacturer of course) of my new Zeagle Ranger BC. My original intent was to procure a Scubapro Accent NT, and just happened to walk into a dive shop and try on the Ranger. After about an hour of the dive shop owners time, and walking around with the Ranger on I thought that the price was good as compared to the Accent, and I figured it gave me more versatility since I am in N.Florida. Plus for some reason all my instructors had back inflate BC's. Anyway, fit and feel were superior I thought, I could sleep in it! However, I am a newbie, and since dive intruction usually takes place in vest style jackets, I have not had time in a back inflated BC. And also wonder if maybe I got a little over zealous in my selection?? I stil have time to evaluate it, but would like some experienced divers both open water and cave or cavern to comment on my purchase. Also if they could include any back inflate v. vest testimonials or even a zeagle review?? It's a big purchase for me, plus its my first and I am a college student, so it means mac and cheese till next fall. I'd appreciate any responses. Thanks.
