not exactly go back, i still use my jacket style bcd. I find it easier to travel with plus easier to get in to in a small crowded boat. I like them both that i couldn't make myself choose one over the other.
Borrowed a DR STA and tried it yesterday. The forst thing i notice is that it made the tank ride higher which i find a bit annoying. however, i was able to remove 2 lbs off my belt. Didn't notice it trying to turn turtle me, and except for the higher riding tank didn't notice any difference...
The oxycheq wing came with an anti-roll stud so it can be used without STA. However, most (if not all) of the divers I see with bp/w use STA. Made me wonder if i'm missing something there. Thanks for the comments. I'll stick with my bp/w without the STA then.
I have a DR backplate w/ a 1 piece harness and an oxycheq mach v wing. have been using it without an STA for 4 months now and fine with it. A diver however suggested that i get a STA saying it holds the tank better thus more stable and comfortable. Is it really worth the extra cost?
I started with a scubapro classic bcd and used it for 9 years before buying a bp/w. take note "buying" and not switching. I still use my old classic bcd. i dont do tech dives only recreational dives. as for the bp/w having better trim... as you gain more diving hours you will get your trim...
