help with a BCD

[Corpsman82]

im currently in okinawa japan an im haveing a prob finding a good BCD. on base we have a dive store but they have a VERY small selection of BCD's only two in fact. and i dont really care for either one of them. and out in town they have dive stores but the people working there speak little to no english so i was wondering if anyone could recommend a jacket style BCD. (dont wanna go too much over 400$)

Under $400 in Japan? What, are you buying a snorkel? Seriously, I just got my big ticket items from Scubatoys. They have a vast selection, and express shipping was VERY reasonable as are their prices. Check the scrolling ad at the top of the page, and don't forget to mention that you are an SB member for 10% off.

There are lots of good posts on these forums...what I did was check the manufacturers websites: Oceanic, Zeagle, Scubapro, etc...
Then did some searches on the brands that appealed to me on this site. That narrowed it down quite a bit. I'm sure others will be along shortly with plenty of advice. Let me be the first: BP/W (not that I use one, just wanted to beat them to the punch.) I will recieve a Zeagle Brigade in the next hour via UPS but haven't tried it out yet, so what do I know? Good luck

Go to Torii station and talk to C , they have some nice gear there. If you dont like that check with Tony at Kadena Marina , they carry Tusa stuff there. You really dont want to mail order a BCD , how would you know if it fits you properly ??? Have you tried japanupdate for a used one yet , thay may be you best bet if you on a budget???
