Well, MD, forgive my ignorance but this is my first foray into the world of buying dive equipment. From what you are saying, each dive shop carries only one brand? I guess I thought it was like a ski shop where several brands are usually available. Yes, there are 2 more dive shops in Spokane. I'll try to check them out, but I'm a looong way from town, especially when it's snowing and the ferry is down.
I unfortunately happen to be one of the unenlightened who is unaware of the better alternative to the AIR 2. In spite of all the neg opinions, I still like the idea of not having to deal with an octopus that seems to work its way loose all too often. Care to enlighten?
Are you suggesting that a BP and wings are the better alternative to a backinflate BC?
Give me a break, MD. I'm on a steep learning curve right now.
