I am planning to purchase SCUBA gadgets for our laboratory.


I couldn't take a decision on the choice of BCs. I have options to any of the following:

Accent, Classic Plus, Glide 1000, Glide 2000 (SCUBAPRO) and

Vector 1000 (MARES) and

Ocean C40, Ocean C70 (COLTRI-SUB)

I would appreciate receiving info about the comparative quality of each of the equipment(s).

Any mainstream manufacturer will have quality products that are similiar. Models vary not so much in quality level but number of "features", lift, etc.

What is your "laboratory" application?

Scubapro makes very high quality BC's, but avoid the Accent because the closure is elastic. When the velcro on the commerbund wears out the elastic will not hold the jacket securely closed. Likewise, the elastic closure can wear out prematurely. For the US market this model was discontinued a while ago.
