So I'm a new driver, fresh out of OW with 2 fresh water dives under my belt, with a couple more planned soon. Suffice to say I'm pretty hooked. I've been pouring over the web and my LDS looking for gear suggestions. Up till recently, I never knew the BP/W setup existed. Certainly didn't see/hear it mentioned in my classes.
I've always been intrigued by minimalist diving. I've taken free diving courses in the past, so the Idea of a no frills streamlined setup really appeals to me. However none of the divers I dive with use a BP/W, So I'm hesitant to jump into scuba with what many would consider 'niche' gear.
If anyone in the Chicago Milwaukee area has a BP/W setup they'd be willing to let try or at least show the basics of assembling and adjusting let me know! I'd love to talk someone and see the gear in person!
