I’ve been diving in a back-inflate BC of sorts exclusively for at least 15 years. No complaints. Today I forgot my BPW at home and had to borrow a jacket bc for a dive. A wee bit awkward underwater but OH SO comfortable on the surface! I guess that I’m used to minimal inflate then resting back and pushing my legs up in a back-inflate. Then maintaining that balance. No fun in a chop. Jackets are just so darn easy on the surface. It’s like being in a life-raft. I’m not going back but it sure was comfortable.
