I thought that same thing. I searched several strings and did not find a difinitive string that discussed it. If you know of one send it through.
As for some who take the tact of "this is the superior product and those who don't use it are fools", I just don't have any tolerance for that.
My OW instructor was a US Navy diver (not SEAL). He dives a Balance and dumped his BP/W. My AOW instructor dives s Scubapro back inflate after trying the BP/W - he has mounds of dives also. Another 1,000+ diver I know prefers the BP/W but also loves the Seaquest Black Diamond. Point being; there are ± to all styles and for nimrod to say "we superior pros ONLY dive with these" is sort of hick-like.
Aahhhh. So this is just a troll...
I use both for different applications but I never say I use a wing to be superior, in fact I dive the jacket most of the time. Once you get a few dives under your belt with both, you will understand...
