No, I'm interesting in the buzzword "balanced rig" as thrown out by some posters, usually with a bit of DIR training, in reference to weighting issues, often in the context of a "don't dive steel tanks with a wetsuit" warning.toodive4:I think he was asking about a balanced vs. unbalanced regulator.
So far it just seems to be shorthand for "don't dive overweighted", and "be able to swim up from deep, even with a BC failure", but perhaps it is more.

Just wanted to find out what the substance is behind the buzzword.
