I am relatively new to diving and have been using an old Zeagle escape I inherited. It is extremely light weight and low profile (doesn't even have pockets). I am sold on low profile design and would like to continue this trend even more in my next BCD purchase. Of course after cruising the threads a BP/W system seems to be ideal.
I live in FL, and don't plan on flying much to my dive destinations, though I'm sure it will happen. Most dives will be 72 degrees or warmer, usually warmer.
Wreck/Cave diving is probably not in my future, but deeper, 100 ft plus, probably will be.
I am thinking about a SS plate or the Ultra Lite Travel Plate. Is there any downside to the UL as opposed to a classic SS plate? My thinking was the 6 lbs of steel would mean that much less weight to have to carry on the belt, helping with streamlining. But the UL snug against the back may help keep lower profile.
Second part is wing choice. I'm seriously considering the 30# mach V, but again for streamlining, I think most of my diving I could get away with the 18 lb Travel Wing.
Thanks in advance for any help.
