Aqua Lung Patriot and SeaQuest.

[scubahorse]

I wanted to have a SeaQuest Raider or Black Diamond but they are very expensive. Last week I got a new Aqua Lung Patriot BC from ebay and I paid about $320 include shpping. It is a very good quality BC. Look just like Seaquest BC. Someone told me Aqua Lung and SeaQuest are the same company.
How come the prices are so different? I really like my Patriot now. I cannot find any weakness from the patriot. It really fit and good balance underwater. Any one has an AquaLung BCD? Do you like your AquaLung?

AQ and SQ merged their companies a while back...

The Patriot is just a stripped down Raider, and hence, cheaper...
AQ and SQ make very nice BC's, and very nice quality for a rec BC.

I prefer the Balance. Not alot of extra stuff that you dont need...

Just MHO...
