XXXL bcd

I used an Aeris Atmos XT until I got the BP/W. They seem to run rather large, and I'm bigger than this dude. (although shorter)

I'm 6'6" and about 350. I picked up a Scubapro XXL Knighthawk. It works amazingly well. It works across my chest, and the standard cumberbund also makes it around. They do sell larger cumberbunds and expansion straps for the chest if needed.

If he's looking for wetsuits, I went with Akona. They offer larger sized ones as standard order, and I went with a Whites Drysuit, as their fusions are amazingly roomy. I didn't think I'd be able to order an off the rack wet or drysuit, but I did.

Good luck

I'd recommend a BP/W. He will love the infinite adjustibility. DSS makes good stuff, as do Golem Gear, HOG, Oxycheq and a host of others.

I 2nd or 3rd or 4th or whatever the BP/W suggestion. It will handle all your diving needs and webbing length is unlimited. Doesn't matter if a guy has a 100 inch waist, and a 200 inch chest, webbing will go around it.

I am a big guy and frequently dive with a dry suit. I have also tried several different BCDs. I have a Riptide Zone II XXL. It would certainly fit and has plenty of lift. It's flaw is that it is weight integrated and is fine for Carribean diving but I found the integrated system is problematic for dry suits. I hate belts so I shifted to a weight harness. Then I did not need such a large BC.

This thread is making me feel short and skinny.

This thread is making me feel short and skinny.

Yeah I know.
I'm 6'4" and 225 and I'm starting to feel small.

The only logical choice would be a Backplate and wing, you know it will fit regardless and you will aslo be doing your student a favour because he will never outgrow his rig

1st choice is BP/W. Check DSS as he may need one of Tobin's larger plates.
2nd choice is a Zeagle. I've seen some pretty big boys wearing their larger stock sizes.
Take care,
George

take a look at a Seasoft Pro, lots of adjustment in all areas of the BC. I called them before I bought mine and I ended up talking to the president of the company. Great customer service and a great product.
