For various reasons I decided to convert a snorkel vest into a BC.
It worked. Simply take a snorkel vest and cut a couple of appropriate sized holes in strategic locations to hook up a power inflator and an overpressure valve. Use with a simple backplate and you have a back-to-basics type rig.
The downside is you have very little lift so get your weight right! Of course this works best when no exposure protection is needed.
Just thought I would mention this here.
