New diver here and I'm confused at all the choices for a BCD. I dive in Monterey, would like to go traveling with the BCD, and I want to do underwater photography eventually. To me a BCD is just an inflatable air bag that holds your tank and has accessories like weight belt and pockets. I really don't know all the differences between brands.
I'm looking at the Zeagle Express Tech - I love the minimal look and the modularity and the idea that I can float horizontal easily with the wing, but I don't think that the standard bladder will provide enough lift in Monterey where I'm diving with 26lb of weights. Not to mention there are zero pockets. To get a bigger bladder would be $300 extra...
My instructor dove with a Zeagle Ranger and it gets good reviews all around. Should I get this instead?
I haven't looked at other brands because I don't know where to start or what they could offer that Zeagle already doesn't.
