I am a new diver, haven't been certified long, and am looking at getting my own gear. The backplate and wing looks like a really secure and modular system which interests me. Also it is the number one choice of DIR style divers and that is the style of diving I would like to do when I am older and can get a certification for that. I am currently only 14 but would like to get the BP/W and long hoses to start using now so when I am older i already have experience with the equipment. Most of the employees at my local shop say it is too advanced or it will be uncomfortable. My question to you guys is, would I want a more recreational style of BCD starting out or should I go straight for the BP/W to get comfortable with for later certifications? (sorry if this is in the wrong place or a repeated post as I am new to the forums)
