Need some gear advice. I've got everything I need for my first BP/W setup. I haven't taken it out yet but I'll be taking it to the pool for a couple hours along with my other gear before this trip to check things out. My question is this, am I giving myself too much of a learning curve taking the BP/W on this trip, or will I probably adapt to it quick enough? If it matters, I've already dove the wing but with a soft pack vice a BP. So basically, I'm just swapping the soft pack for a BP.

Even if you bring it as it is and assemble it here you'd probably be fine. There are great divers who can help you assemble it. I had years of experience when I started using a BP/W and I was fairly certain I could get it setup well enough but I got some help. Once I got it set up I never looked back. I bought a DiveRite backplate pad and I made adjustments a few days after I first assembled it that's all. A couple of years ago I tried my old BC just to see if it worked before selling it and reaffirmed that my BP/W is the last BC I will ever need.

No big difference, I have used both. Personally like soft. Plus a little lighter for travel. But to each there own.

Anyone know what the power standards are for this resort? Do we need any kind of electrical outlet converter?

I think you would find it helpful to read through the 1st 8 posts of the thread as many of the questions for our trip are answered there. I tried to be through, but if you still need more info, then post in that Packing, Travel, Diving thread so we can keep all the info handy for the Crew.

Thanks for setting me straight.
