Aeris 5 Ocean BCD question

[miniion26]

Hi everyone !

I am a new diver and I have a question regarding my future BCD.
I have the opportunity to buy a Aeris 5 Ocean hybrid, but I can't
find any reviews about it ( just one on Leisure Pro website).
Does anyone dive with one? Any comments, advice will be
much appreciated.

Thank you,

Ion

Scuba Diving Magazine did a review on it.

I used it for my first 80 or so dives then switched to BP/w. I liked it until I found out the simplicity and flexibility of BP/w (got HOG combo of BP/w and harness for $199 sale now $249).

I don't think I'll look back.

Lack of attachment points was very big thing for me. Plastic D rings are just not that great and the carabiner had to go.

Well, looks like I'll have to try it . It just got here Friday. I was lucky enough to get
a brand new unit for half price. Looks good so far, I am going diving today with it.
Thanks for you input, guys.
