Ya I could use that $200 towards a computer! This hobby is pretty expensive so I'm trying to make my money stretch while not compromising much on quality and what I really want.
I didn't use any trim weights on the jacket BC. Just the integrated weight system and had no issues. I was pretty...
I talked to the guys at Deep 6 and he said to measure from where the plate would sit at my lumbar to right where I can reach on my back behind my shoulder blades. 15.5" is perfect actually.
This is the BC I used during my OW training. I don't have much to compare it to but I thought it was comfortable and didn't have any issues. Seemed to be decent quality.
So in freshwater with the rental jacket style BC I used 6 lbs of lead while wearing a 3mm full suit. With a standard tank and trying to use the least amount of lead possible what would you advise for wing lift and stainless steel vs aluminum backplates?
I drive to CA which takes me 5 hours and spend a few days out there. All of my lake days are done locally with about an hour drive. I won't be able to fly or do any warm water diving until I save up!
I'm looking at acquiring some of my own gear as a new diver. I want to get something that will last me a long time and will be versatile, as I want to continue taking different scuba classes and further my knowledge.
I am 5'2" and 115 lbs and will mostly be diving Arizona lakes and the oceans...
How much on average can I expect for service to cost? Do you think it would be a good BCD for me to start with or should I spend some money on a newer one?
Hello! I'm a newly certified diver and picked up a Scubapro Accent NT for $20. After a good wash and rinse I orally inflated the BCD and it appears to hold air. Any advice on maintenance I can do? And if this is even worth holding onto?
Thanks!
