I do recall when I started diving.
I had a SP Superhawk NT. I also remember how much of a PITA it was to travel with and fit in those little cubby holes on a Blackbeard's cruise. Back then you had to tear your gear down between each dive several times a day. When I got back from that 9 day trip, I immediately sold that BC and got a Transpac II. It was a huge improvement and it traveled well. I noticed a drastic change in drag over the Superhawk. That BC lasted for about one year. The only thing I disliked was the way the waist strap pressed on my diaphragm. Then I bought my first Pioneer wing and backplate. I haven't looked back.
You see, some of us really do recall our initial days as divers. We just choose not to go back.

hoosier:I totally agreed on what you said... Sometimes, some experiecned and advanced divers need to step back and recall their begining year of scuba. They are only talking within their current perspectives.
