    Key Considerations...

    Hey guys! Looking to get some feedback from the community... When purchasing a new BC device (whether it's your 1st or 10th, a jacket or a wing) what are the factors that are most important to you as a buyer (obviously lift capacity is a factor, but why would you choose a 60lbs Hollis wing...

    Sidemount or BP/W?!

    I’ll be honest - I’ve pretty much binge watched all of his stuff! So useful to get a feel for everything before it’s even on my back haha... It’s going to feel strange going from knowing my kit inside and out to having to actually think about it when I put it on haha

    DSMB & Reel Storage - BP/W

    Hey guys, Got myself a lovely new BP/W system which I can’t wait to get using. Been a long term jacket BCD user, and although the pockets on them are awkward as hell - they are at least still pockets... Just trying to map out the logistics of what will go where. I’m using a DIR harness and no...

    Sidemount or BP/W?!

    Thanks for all the kind comments and helpful words guys. Been really useful. I’ve settled on a BP/W - specifically a 30lb donut from Red Hat Diving here in the UK, with a hog-style harness and SS backplate. Can’t wait to get stuck into it :D!

    New Fins...

    Hey guys, Looking at getting some new tec-style fins but getting a little lost in the millions of threads that exist (which inevitably contain one person saying "RK3 HD are too flexible they're ****" followed by someone else saying "RK3 HD are perfect"). Genuinely open to suggestions but my...

    BP/W - Which one?!

    Why not the same wing...?? I know my lift requirements will be different in warm vs. cold based on the weight equations, but diving warm in a 30 pound wing shouldn’t be overkill right?

    BP/W - Which one?!

    Thanks man - this is all excellent! I knew the 'best brand' question would shake some trees haha, it's really useful to hear everyones thoughts though :)! Interesting re: the Halcyon wing - it's one I've been looking at. Seems to get great reviews! And obviously has it's heritage as a great and...

    BP/W - Which one?!

    Hey guys! Looking to get into a BP/W setup :). Currently using a jacket style BCD (currently an Aqualung Axiom I3 & Aqualung Legend LX Supreme regs (DIN)). I'm PADI AOW, and stopped logging dives at around 500, but currently sat somewhere around 800-1000. In terms of the diving I currently do...

    Sidemount or BP/W?!

    Thanks so much for all the excellent input guys! My summary of where I'm at having taken all your comments on board: - BP/W is probably the most convenient setup for the type of diving I plan on doing (mainly boat based etc), and it has the flexibility to allow me to change between single /...

    Sidemount or BP/W?!

    Absolutely :)! I'm really really open to suggestions. I've been around diving too long to think I could possibly know more than the community haha... How easy is slinging a single on a BP/W??

    Sidemount or BP/W?!

    Hey guys! First post here so apologies if this is in the wrong place or has already been posted (I couldn't find it if it has been)! Bit of background before I jump into the problem I want your help with if possible :). I've been lucky enough to dive all over the world for the past 10 years -...
