Hi,
Last week we rented the Dive Rite TransPac II BCs and loved them. We we able to reduce our weights a bit and the freedom from "squeeze" was incredible. With the integrated weights it seemed easier to achieve a nice trim in the water.
So we began looking for an affortable back buoyancy BCs. While at our local dive shop we came across the Aqua Lung Malibu, and thought it might be a good compromise between price and performance. We weren't able to find any reviews of this BC and asking about it here and in the rec.scuba.equipment newsgroup netted no feedback at all.
That leads us to ask, " Is the TransPac II, overkill for newbie rec. divers? " If so, "What do you recommend in a back buoyancy BC? " Or if not, "Which wings would you recommend for non-wreck/non-cave divers? "
Thanks,
Steve & Margo
