Hi Folks, When the water is cold, I dive a Santi BZ400 and am plenty warm in mid to high thirties. A buddy of mine just picked up a used BZ200, well worn but serviceable. What do folks think of him pairing it with his Whites fusion thermal undergarment for cold dives (under 40F) Can he assume...

Hello, I have decided to make a switch from a BCD (Scubapro Ladyhawk) to a backplate and wing. I recently realized that my BCD is way too big for me (M and I'm only 5'3) and I suspect that may be why I have had buoyancy issues in the past. Although I loved my hybrid BCD, I figured that since I...
