Hello Fellow Divers,
I have quite happily been using a SeaQuest Passport BC. This model is designed to be light weight and pack up small. No complaints, but I have been thinking that a BP/W setup could be just as small and light, if not moreso, plus I think I would enjoy the diving characeristics of this type of setup.
I do primarily warm water diving in SE Asia, Carribean and Florida. I wear anything from a rashie and trunks to a 3 mil wetsuit. Most of the time, I dive in a 1 mil tropical jumpsuit.
So, I don't need it to do doubles, but I would like to add integrated weights and pockets. A non-backplate design is appealing, but an aluminum or composite backplate could probably work.
Any suggestions and personal experiences would be welcome.
Thanks,
Thomjinx
