I have been looking for a new BDC and I like the sounds of this one. Oceanic Outrigger Back Inflate BCD. Its a weight integrated back BCD with 15 LBS inflateable in the front strapes. Has anyone tried this BCD or have a comment?

Thanks for your thoughts. The BCD is not cheap -- over $600 here is the link http://www.divers-supply.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=OCE0068&click=10168

You don't need the outrigger. That 15 pounds in the front is unnecessary. There is nothing difficult at the surface with a normal back inflate BC....sometimes with a bp/w but definitely not with a BC. If i were you i would look at the Oceanic Excursion myself. It's almost exactly the same as the outrigger and i have alot of my buddies who dive it. I dive the Zeagle Ranger myself which has *44* pounds of lift unless firefrog got a new setup and they changed which i am unaware of. So in BC shopping i would definitely recommend the Oceanic Excursion, Zeagle Stilleto, or the Zeagle Ranger. All are outstanding back inflate BCs.
