Very happy (both times). I have 2 bp/w rigs from Deep Sea Supply, one for me and the other for my daughter. One has 250 dives and the other has 20. If I didn’t marker our initials on them I would be hard pressed to tell them apart.
I mostly dive in cold water using a drysuit but I have also travelled with the same rig multiple times for one week excursions to the tropics and despite the steel plate I am able to take all my gear, camera rig and the clothes I need without being over weight at any airline check in. I even recently had an instructor at Buddy Dive Bonaire compliment me on my “travel bcd” at the rinse tank. He was with a client so I just smiled and thanked him!
Believe the hype. I did my research right here on Scubaboard and took the advice of some posters, who I found had informed opinions on gear and gear configurations and who didn’t appear to be shills. I would take the advice on Scubaboard over that of some dive shop that only sells those other contraptions. That is why I love this forum.
