I've been looking at all of the BCDs avaliable and am feeling overwhelmed. Any advice appreciated.
I will be traveling to Thailand for PADI dive master and then instructor training in a couple of weeks and I am looking to purchase a BCD here in the states before I go. I plan to use this gear a lot and will be relocating to Asia for continued diving. I find that I can get much better deals on equipment here in the states than in Thailand and so want to make purchase before I leave.
BCD Max price is $400.
Qualities that I am looking for are durability (will be using this a lot), simplicity (I don't need lots of bells and whistles), comfort.
I have noticed the
edge freedom - good entry level price seems to be high quality without paying for a huge advertising budget.
scubapro classic plus - high quality time tested design. I can buy for $399
Fins
Scubapro jet fins
people seem to like the springs for the heals comments?
Regulator
sherwood oasis
console
Not sure. I just want a simple metric tank and depth
