I just read a thread about bp/w for new divers and it got me thinking, so to avoid a hijack, i've decided to create a bit of visual polution for SB.
I did my training in a jacket style bc like most people and I figure a bc is going to be one of my first gear purchases. (my instructor mentioned during one of the classes that bcs would probably be the first thing most of us would want to buy as we'd almost always have problems with fit in rental gear (3 out of the 4 students were of the female persuasion) and i had problems cause of a not great fit). So my question is this: what are the pros and cons of jacket style, back inflate and bp/w?
at the moment, i think i'm kinda leaning toward the back inflate style but who knows what i'll think once i've tried enough to know what I want.
