I'm thinking about changing my Zeagle Ranger LTD BCD (44lb "lift") to a BP/W setup. I read all the BP/W advantages, more streamlined, less bulky to travel with, possibility of shedding some carried weight and so on. My question is this. I've read that I can take some components of my existing BCD ( which is great BTW , 200 + dives ) and buy the "Zeagle plate/harness". I don't really know what I'm talking about yet in terms of the components necessary. My question is would the end product of a Zeagle BCD conversion be worth it, ( sorry Scott ! ) or should I just buy another highly recommended BP/W seperately ? Saving $ is good and I would rather have just one setup that I can use exclusively. I dive dry, cold water, so would like to use this "new" setup for that, but also for warmer water dive trips with my 5 ml . Just recently returned from a warm water trip. As much as I like my BCD, it took up a lot of space in the luggage. If I remember my weights correctly, it also weighs 7 lbs. Any thoughts, comments would be appreciated.
if it matters in this decision making process, dry, salt water with an AL 80, I'm at 34 lbs carried weight
In Coz, new 5 ml with an Al 80, 18lbs.
