Objective testing, I love it . . .

Going to bounce this back up again hopefully to generate some more response.

It does look kind of skewed only 26% use jacket style but if you go on a boat the majority have jackets. BP/wings are in the minority out on the boats but a majority on the internet.

Keep in mind that most recreational divers are probably unaware of the existence of this board.

I think whoever complained in the soft vs. hard thread that there was no empirical proof that Scubaboard is overwhelmingly bp/w, well, here's his proof.

this is not proof of anything except that the bp/w crowd are a vocal minority that through their devious and scheming intent to commit conspiracy, have manipulated the polls through gerymandering and the use of sock puppets! Heaven forbid they give up diving and enter politics in Florida.

the voice of reason, the proof is not in an unscientific internet poll, but in the water.

Love to stay, but have to go and manufacture more ICE BULLETS.

Moogy, I have to agree with Mark.
This poll represents only a population of the universe of scuba divers.
It does, however, reflect the preference of those scuba divers who are participating members of this board.

What's amazing is that so many of us are still alive. After all, BP/W and back inflate BCD should have forced 70% of us face first into the water at the surface to meet Davy Jones.
