Hi all,
After decades of diving on rental gear I am now thinking of buying a scuba gear for our family... which means 4x on each piece of equipment.
I've only dived cheap jacket-style BCDs that were available in various places around the world where we dived, but am very keen to go into BPW or the "hybrid" style such as Hydros.
Where I am buying the two BCDs would come roughly at the same price to me (650 EUR vs 680 EUR)... so price is the same.
I mostly dive tropical destinations, occasionally mediterranean; as a family we are recreational and not technical divers; even though I have been diving for 30+ years I have only dived single tank.
With this said, both BCDs are of similar weight (slight but really only slight advantage to XDeep) and similar price.
Can you please advise on which direction should I go and why? And please let's stick with these 2 models only.
