    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Lol. I hear ya on the gadgetry. So you think a basic 1 piece harness like a HOG or OMS might be best? What type and brand plate then? I'm thinking I might try to eliminate some weight as well with the SS plate so that's an option as well. So gotta lot of researching to do to find the right...

    looking for Tobin, suggestion for BP/W set up >

    Hey Tobin, Can you do me a favor. I have been having a similar discussion on another thread, almost at this same time. Can you read the thread, ALOT of DSS talk has come up, and based on ME and MY situation, what you think YOU and DSS can do for me. Here is the link...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Thanks Split for the advise (as well as thank you to everyone else) I totally forgot about that release option from Zeagle on their BP/W. I may not need the Cinch you are right. But just to give you an idea about myself, I was in the military and did a Spec Ops job for many years. While in the...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Well, as USUAL, SB and it's members have come through. Thank you all for your input thus far and I am learning what I need to (some at least lol) Some digging I have done has pointed out that the Cinch is only compatible with the H plates (I believe there may be a model or 2 that works ok but...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Is there Amy difference really between a SS backplate from DSS, Dive Rite, OMS and anyone else? The reason I ask is because there is a HUGE price difference - Range is $50 - $250 (for a similar product / or the same product) That's why I am asking because I don't know Thanks

    Will this: Hollywoodivers.com: Halcyon Cinch Quick-adjust Harness Upgrade Work with this: Product Listing Backplates And This: HOG 32Lb Wing discounts on sale HOG Sorry for all the plugs, unintentional. Just trying to know if this type of setup will work before I buy it and can't return...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Oh and another few questions: (thanks for being patient) I have an issue with one of my hands (right) from an injury in war (US Veteran) so the rip cord system on the Stiletto appeals to me for ease of use. With a BP/W, I like the Cinch system from H for similar reasons (I can push the webbing...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Hick - that's also kind of what I was thinking. And thanks for the input. To me, let's say I get a BP for under $100 plus say a Harness for $100 then a wing to suit my needs now and change later accordingly, if something isn't right or I want to change things a bit I'm only out a LITTLE BIT of...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Thanks Blue - no not too wordy. And what you are saying is basically how I am feeling. I am not going to buy one or the other over price. It's a point that must be addressed obviously and if one is more than I can afford that I want I just have to save and then get it. The problem is EXACTLY...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    And you mention DSS. Even an OMS setup is substantially cheaper. Again, I'm NOT putting down Halcyon or their products at all, I think they are great. I'm just wondering if there is a good alternative so I can use that other $$ on more actual diving lol

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Thanks Silly. That's a little of my point. I know H makes good quality stuff, but you pay for that. It's like Toyta and Lexus or Ford and Land Rover. The companies make BOTH products so is one better than the other. (OK not the best example BC H does not make other gear under a different name...

    Good Rec (Maybe Tech) BP/W

    Hey everyone. I'm looking for opinions, advice, and suggestions. I'm trying to decide between a Zeagle Stiletto and a BP/W. I know that the BP/W party line touts the Halcyon as the King. And that's OK. It's a fine BC with a lot of room to grow, customizations, simplicity, etc. But...

    Gearing up: One newbies experience (long)

    And you got a GREAT DEAL on the AOW class and the Zeagle ET BC. You "could have" paid an additional $400-$500. So not too bad. Thorough, but not too bad. Good thing about SCUBA is that "most" of that gear will go with you as you grow. If you go to Tech, then all bets are off and get another...

    Using Non-Dive Bags For Dive Gear

    Wow. That bag fits all of that gear. That's crazy talk ;) Hey, on a wet side of things, how does it manage after you put semi wet gear in it. Say after a rinse for transport? I have a big duffel on wheels that I use when transporting gear which is great. But it's too big for boats and what...
