Hey divers! Jimmy here, new to the sport, just got back from doing some fantastic drift diving in Cozumel, so happy to see the reefs in amazing shape. The eagle rays were ridiculous. I am hooked and looking to take this through Divemaster.
Here’s the short of it, I’m convinced I’m going BP/W for my first purchase. I dove a jacket, then an AL Dimension, I want more minimalist + customization. Looking for some feedback and opinions on what I am thinking of getting...Hollis Solo harness, w/SS BP and their LX S38 wing. My thoughts are, strong brand with good reputation and I like the colors. But maybe there are better (equal) options that are more affordable or offer better features?
Also, curious about weighting. On my Cozumel dives I carried 14# of lead with the AL Dimension (back inflate), and the only time I needed air in my BC was at the surface. Trim and buoyancy was perfect. What can I expect switching to a BP/W?
Thanks!
