zeagle express for you in that warm water - be perfect, everyone will wonder why they have a bulky big and stupid bcd after seeing you! Zeagle Express Tech Deluxe BCD scuba diving gear at Zeagle Express

Just get the basic, no extras!

With Bob, I travel with an alu bp and a single tank wing. The weight is 1/4 of a normal BCD. And when you take the pieces apart it stows very small.

Zeagle also has the Covert - you roll it up like a newspaper to pack it. ZEAGLE Covert BCD at LeisurePro

Express Tech is still smaller though - but a couple lbs. heavier IIRC.

My Zeagle Scout(BC ONLY---nothing attached) weighs in @ 5.5 lbs---same as my DR alum BP/wing... EDIT:...I don't care what Zeagle's specs show/say......

Zeagle Brigade that Scubatoys sells is nice. 6-7 pounds, it has the smaller Zeagle Escape bladder so it packs small, but has the Zeagle Ranger harness so you get lots of attachments, weight pockets, etc.
