I was just ceritifed last year and have been diving with rental equipment. I'm now ready to buy my first set of gear and I've been driving my wife nuts with magazines and scuba websites trying to lock in on the equipment I want.
The one thing I haven't found is any info on which integrated inflator/octos work with which other companies BC's.
I think I've settled on a Transpac 2 bc with travel wing and a rec wing. Since I do travel alot I want a nice compact setup, so I'm going to outfit the travel wing with an integrated inflator.
Since DiveRite doesn't have one I'm forced to look elsewhere... I'm guessing that ScubaPro's Air2 might work out of box since their Trek line of bc's are the old Transpac 1 with the various wings. Can anyone confirm this?
I'm also interested in the Zeagle and TUSA inflators but I can't find any info on if these would work out of box, or how much it would take to fit the travel wing with these guys.
As a last resort I've seen the Genesis Sidekick/Sherwood Minimus/Oceanic InlineSlimline device which would just connect between the existing lp hose and inflator. However this seems a bit bulky/cumbersome.
Any pointers or advice from people who've crossed brands?
Thanks,
Ed
