Calling All Zeagle Owners

[ScottZeagle]

Scott, go for it!
Get us a serious computer in a decent price! like all your equipment, serious but decent!

If you want a list of specs, just post a message here, I'm sure everyone has plenty of ideas.

Oh we have one in the works, it is just a really slow process. We were hoping to have it available by the summer, but who knows at this point...

When it is done, it will be smokin' - that I can promise you!!!

 

[The Chairman]

Don't make me come over there, Pete!!!!

Bwahahahaha! How could I resist Scott? However, this shows that there IS a market for it! BTW, this is sort of an inside joke as Zeagle has been developing one for some time now. However, the perfectionists that they are, they won't settle for one that will just "do".

How did the pictures come out of your tour here? You should post some of those!!!

Scott, I flooded the camera the very next day I believe. I lost it all! I will be back tho, just to take more pictures!

No Scott, No! When a computer smokes, it's generally NOT a good thing!

This is very special "scuba smoke" Pete...

There is a difference, you know....

 

[The Chairman]

All I know Scott, is that when electronics get wet, the magic smoke that runs it escapes!

 

[ScottZeagle]

You are derailing this thread, Pete.

To the dragon with you, sir!!!!

:Wizard:

[The Chairman]

Whoooops...

caught being a troll on my own board!

Did I ever tell you that my student gear is mostly Zeagle? Except of course, for them thar computers?

I have finally purchased my zeagle concept two in the last two weeks. I have been using similar rental BCs and I love them.

Pros:
Its comfortable, zero squeeze and sooooo adjustable. I can wear it nekkid or over a dry suit easily. Although I haven't tried it nekkid yet . I'm also happy with the way the weight distributes in this BC. I tried a Sherwood Axis a while back and the BC forced me forwards, kneeling on the bottom was nearly impossible, I had to fight not to kiss the bottom of the pool. But the Zeagle makes neutral buoyancy effortless, its the only BC I've found that I can hold Buddha in!

Cons:
The only problem I notice with zeagle that my LDS has told me is a known problem is that it periodically does not like to deflate. I haven't had this problem with my new BC but the older rental ones periodically stuck and to get them to deflate, I'd have to pump a couple shots on the inflator and then I could deflate as much as needed. Nothing critical, just a PITA/annoyance more than anything. Although not something I would want to have to deal with in open water, in the pool it was fine but in the lake would be another story.

I have run into this issue as well and it seems to be mitigated if you ensure that the wing clips are clipped. The pieces where the wing goes over the weight pouches and clips into the vest itself. This seem to add just enough compression to make the bladder compress into more of a horse collar shape and seems to prevent the accumulation of air in weird parts.

Hope that helps.
