Hello, my wife and I are fairly new to diving. AOW with 70+ dives. We have always rented our gear and always dove with jacket BCDs. But we are finally wanting to start buying gear so we don't have to rent gear, after our last trip cost us hundreds of dollars in rental costs. So after a bunch of research we feel like we want to go with BP/W and I think we will be going to get the XDeep NX Zen (still open to other recommendations), but my question is, we have never dove with BP/W and we are going to the Philippines in April to do a bunch of diving. And I am a little concerned with going there and it being the first time we use the BP/W when we get there, since we don't really have a way of testing them out where we live. Will this be an issue? Is there a chance that it will be something that we won't get accustomed to quickly? I have seen some people say that it takes time to get used to them, but will it be such a difference that it can ruin our dives? Thank you!
