OK, several threads have asked what BCD they use, which one to buy and so on. I must say that the response to these has been very helpful in making my personal decision on my next BCD.

But today I would like to maybe narrow the scope of the thread. Maybe some more great info will come out of this for junior divers like me. So I ask all of you a few Questions;

NOTE: I do NOT work for any Manufacturer, LDS, or Consumer Reports. But my curiosity has been peaked.

I dive allmost every other weekend weather permiting.

OMS SS BP with Deluxe Harness, and 45# bugied wing.

At this time, recreational diving only, in the future maybe some tech.

Warm water 80 deg.

Beautiful Island of Puerto Rico.

Owned 1 jacket style BC, 1 soft pack/wing (DR TPII/Travel wing), 1 BP/W (used 20 or so Jacket style BCs).

My BP/W has the ability to grow with me.

Too many advantages over the jacket style to pick only one:
A) No torso squeeze
B) Nothing dangling in front of my body
C) The BC won't ride up
D) Great Tank stability
E) Can update the bladder if needed
F) Weight integrated (DR weight system)
G) Multiple attachement points
H) Ect............
